TPP群主正式宣布退群了...
新官上任三把火，特朗普就职后的首个工作日在白宫总统办公室内正式签署三条政令，其中包括退出《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》，即TPP。此前，特朗普在阐述自己上任100天执政计划中就表明了退出TPP的打算。
何为TPP?
TPP(Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement)，即为跨太平洋伙伴关系协定，是目前重要的国际多边经济谈判组织。前身是跨太平洋战略经济伙伴关系协定(Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement，P4)。是由亚太经济合作组织成员国中的新西兰、新加坡、智利和文莱四国发起，从2002年开始酝酿的一组多边关系的自由贸易协定，原名亚太自由贸易区，旨在促进亚太地区的贸易自由化。

President Donald Trump signalled he would put protectionism at the heart of economic policy, withdrawing the US from a historic Pacific trade pact and threatening to punish companies for moving production overseas on his first working day in office.
唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)总统发出信号表明，他将把保护主义置于经济政策的核心。他在就职后的首个工作日将美国从一份历史性的环太平洋贸易协定撤出，并威胁要惩罚把生产迁往海外的企业。
Mr Trump said pulling out of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership, a signature initiative of predecessor[前任] Barack Obama's "pivot[支点;枢轴;中心;中心点]" to Asia, was a "great thing for the American worker".
特朗普表示，退出12个国家签署的《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》(Trans-Pacific Partnership，简称TPP)，“对美国工人来说是一件天大的喜事”。TPP是他的前任巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)“转向”亚洲战略下的一个标志性举措。
His signing of the TPP executive order came shortly after he warned a White House gathering of US business executives that he would place a "very major" border tax[边境税;国境税] on companies that moved production overseas and exported products back into the country.
在签署有关TPP的行政命令之前不久，特朗普警告一批被叫到白宫开会的美国企业高管：他将对那些把生产迁往海外、然后向美国出口产品的企业征收一项“非常重”的边境税。
While Mr Trump made clear during the campaign that he would withdraw from the TPP, the move was a potent[1] signal that he will use his first days in the Oval Office to plough[2] ahead with the populist[民粹主义], antitrade[反贸易风的] agenda that catapulted[3] him to the White House.
尽管特朗普在竞选期间就明确表示他将退出TPP，但此举仍是一个有力的信号，表明他将在入主椭圆形办公室后马上推行当初让他问鼎白宫的民粹主义、反贸易议程。

Republican senator John McCain criticised the TPP move as a "serious mistake", highlighting how Mr Trump's agenda is at odds with[与…不一致;与…不和] decades of Republican trade policy. "It will create an opening for China to rewrite the economic rules at the expense of American workers," Mr McCain said. "And it will send a troubling signal of American disengagement in the Asia-Pacific region at a time we can least afford it."
共和党参议员约翰•麦凯恩(John McCain)批评退出TPP的举动是一个“严重错误”，突显特朗普的议程与共和党几十年来的贸易政策相悖。“这将为中国创造一个重写经济规则的机会，而让美国工人付出代价，”麦凯恩表示。“而且它将在亚太地区发出一个令人不安的美国脱离接触的信号，而目前正是我们最承受不起这一点的时候。”

In his first White House meeting since the inauguration, Mr Trump put companies on notice that he intended to match his rhetoric with action[言行一致], telling chief executives that he would look harshly on companies that moved production out of the US. He also said those that wanted to open US plants would face fewer regulations and lower tax.
在他就职后的第一次白宫会议上，特朗普明确告知企业：他将说到做到。他对到会的首席执行官们表示，他会严厉看待那些把生产迁至美国境外的公司。他还表示，想在美国境内开厂的企业将面临更少的法规和更低的税收。
During the session, which included Elon Musk of Tesla and Marilyn Hewson of Lockheed Martin, Mr Trump said he would impose a "substantial border tax" on goods made overseas by US companies, but would offer "advantages" to those who manufactured domestically.

“一家公司想要在美国解雇所有员工，转而在别的地方建工厂，然后认为该厂的产品会就这样流过边境……那不会发生，”他说。
