| Description | A secret agreement which abrogates several aspects of national sovereignty in the name of "free trade". |
Official narrative
The May 2015 Wikipedia page for the TPP announces: "Signed: 18 July 2005", beneath an image of 10 "leaders of TPP member states and prospective member states at a TPP summit in 2010".[1]
Problems
As of May 2015, the text was still being negotiated (in secret) and is subject to considerable worldwide protest. Wikipedia's "signed" date refers only to the "Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement", a much more limited agreement effective only in Brunei, Chile, Singapore and New Zealand.
