Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University.
He emphasized in the presentation and the following question and answer session that free trade was a basis of food security and that TPP11 and Japan-EU FTA would be the most effective way for the US with protectionist mind-set to return to TPP because they might eliminate US agricultural products in the Japanese market by preferencial treatments to agricultural products from TPP11 members and EU countries.
