    USA was excluded from the TPP/CPTPP by Donald Trump.

    Hillary Clinton if elected would no doubt have gone forward; it was already signed by the Obama administration.

    What blocked the TPP in the USA was not the masses but rather competing bourgeoisie interests behind the Dem/Rep parties.
    The bourgeoisie behind the Rep party like tariffs, such as tariffs against Chinese products, and thus tend to oppose free trade agreements.
    But in no case was this about helping workers or listening to the people.

    TPP was leaked, it was not an open negotiation. After that leak, closed negotiations continued.

    The reason indigenous people of your country most likely have no say is because the country government excludes them.
    If the government included them, they would have their say, and it would still not require open negotiations.

      I was actually referring to the protest movement in my country sorry. You still haven't argued why closed negotiations are beneficial from the standpoint of protecting workers and indigenous rights.
