HANOI - Now that the United States, Vietnam, and ten other nations have signed the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) - and the text, finally, has been released to the public - the U.S. Congress and the other countries' legislative bodies must decide whether to ratify the agreement. Negotiations were secret, until the document was signed. Before the release of the text a few days ago, even members of Congress were not allowed to see the agreement, except for certain members who were shown only a few pages of certain sections, alone, in a locked room.
