According to the UK's International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, the UK could feasibly join the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), saying "it would be foolish to rule anything out". " The TPP is a trade deal between 12 countries that includes Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. Its aims are to lower both non-tariff and tariff barriers to trade and to provide a forum to settle international disputes.
