Or the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It could be that the era of big trade deals is receding. Some progressives might even think that would be ok, as these deals were primarily to the benefit of trans-national capitalists, and harmed the working classes. Others would fear that it could represent a xenophobic turn, in countries in general, and in the west in particular. Both interpretations could be true - they don't necessarily contradict each other.
