The IPEF is also seen as a means by which the US is trying to regain credibility in the region after former President Donald Trump pulled out of the Trans Pacific Partnership TPP). Since then, there has been concern over the absence of a credible US economic and trade strategy to counter China’s economic influence in the region. China is an influential member of the TPP, and has sought membership of its successor agreement Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement on Trans Pacific Partnership. It is also in the 14-member Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, of which the US is not a member (India withdrew from RCEP). The Biden Administration is projecting IPEF as the new US vehicle for re-engagement with East Asia and South East Asia.
