US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade agreement that his predecessor Barack Obama had hoped to become his legacy.

Trump signed the order in the Oval Office after meeting in the Roosevelt Room with US business leaders to talk about American manufacturing industry.

Sean Spicer, the new White House press secretary, argued on Monday that the US will gain more from a bilateral trade agreement than a multilateral agreement. "This is not a deal that was in our country's best interest," he told the daily briefing on Monday.

Wilbur Ross, Trump's nominee for commerce secretary, made the same argument in his confirmation hearing in the Senate last week.

Spicer emphasized the symbolism of the executive order, calling it "symbolic both here in America and around the world of a new era of trade policy", a policy he said would put American workers first and foremost and one that assures the world that the way the US negotiates bilateral agreements is to ensure that the US gets something out of the deals.

TPP was signed in February 2016 by the US and 11 other Pacific Rim economies. Obama had hoped that the US Congress would ratify the agreement during the lame-duck session after the Nov 8 presidential election, but it never got the chance.

Trump had called the TPP a "horrible deal" on the campaign trail. The other presidential candidates in the 2016 election, Republican Ted Cruz and Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, also opposed TPP during the campaign. Most Democratic lawmakers also oppose TPP.

David Dollar, a senior fellow at the John L. Thornton China Center of the Brookings Institute, said Trump's withdrawal from TPP signals a turning away from Asia.

"The other countries in the TPP agreement are likely to proceed without the US. There is an opportunity for China if it is ready to open up its own economy more," Dollar, who had previously worked for the US Treasury and the World Bank, told China Daily on Monday.
