by that account is withdrawing from NAFTA and cancelling TPP are 'progressive' moves?

(Non)populist economists say that NAFTA was in fact beneficial to US economy by transforming it from manufacturing to 21 century high tech economy and TPP would do the same. I remember an NPR interview with a rep from Japanese gov't who said that the US should feel very lucky to have been able to develop a post-industrial economy while Japan can't break out of its manufacturing cycle.
