We can stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Trade agreements are unpopular and have been stopped many times.
Since 1999 when protesters disrupted the trade negotiations in Seattle over the World Trade Organization, numerous negotiations have been stopped. Among the most significant are:
- Millennial and Doha Rounds of the WTO;
- The Free Trade Area of the Americas; and
- The Multilateral Agreement on Investment.
Below is a list of some other trade agreements that were never completed.
- U.S.–Middle East Free Trade Area (includes most countries in the Middle East)
- Thailand: United States–Thailand Free Trade Agreement
· Ghana: US–Ghana Free Trade Agreement - Indonesia: US–Indonesia Free Trade Agreement
- Kenya: US–Kenya Free Trade Agreement
- Kuwait: US–Kuwait Free Trade Agreement
- Malaysia: US–Malaysia Free Trade Agreement
- Mauritius: US–Mauritius Free Trade Agreement
- Mozambique: US–Mozambique Free Trade Agreement
- Taiwan: US–Taiwan Free Trade Agreement
- United Arab Emirates: US–United Arab Emirates Free Trade Agreement

Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, and Namibia) - Ecuador: US–Ecuador Free Trade Agreement
