Trump: US to quit TPP trade deal on first day in office
21 November 2016 US & Canada
President-elect Donald Trump says the US will quit the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal on his first day in the White House.
He made the announcement in a video message outlining what he intends to do first when he takes office in January.
The TPP trade deal was signed by 12 countries which together cover 40% of the world's economy.
The Republican also pledged to reduce "job-killing restrictions" on coal production and stop visa abuses.
His surprise election win two weeks ago has sparked protests across the US.
