• remain committed to TPP structure than can include “regional partners”

In separate comments a “senior” US official is reported by Rtrs as saying that

  • there was strong support among TPP leaders to make a push to reach a deal in coming months but they did not establish timeline
  • after TPP talks conclude in Beijing it will still take a period of time to resolve most difficult issues

Doesn’t seem like we’re going to get a result any time soon then
