On January 23, 2017, three days after taking office, Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing the USTR to withdraw the United States as a signatory to the Trans-Pacific Partnership and to pursue bilateral trade negotiations. The withdrawal took effect immediately, and the administration went on to conclude bilateral deals, including a renegotiated U.S.-Korea agreement (September 2018), the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement (signed October 7, 2019, in force January 1, 2020), and the U.S.-China Phase One agreement (January 2020). Both elements of the promise - the withdrawal notification and negotiating bilateral deals - were delivered.
