KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad wants to revise the 11-member version of the Trans-Pacific Partnership to give weaker economies more breathing room, in yet another setback for the ambitious trade deal.
"We have to review" the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, or TPP-11, the newly elected leader told Nikkei on Friday. The previous government led by Najib Razak had promoted and signed on to the deal, which was finalized last November.
