In marketing the TPP, Obama tends to emphasize some of the features that distinguish it from earlier pacts such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). These include commitments by Pacific countries on the environment and the expansion of enforceable labor rights, as well as the geopolitical argument for America’s much-discussed strategic “rebalancing” toward Asia.
在兜售TPP时，奥巴马总是强调TPP与此前的契约，如北美自由贸易协定（NAFTA）的区别。这些区别包括太平洋国家对环境和扩大可强制实施劳动权利的承诺，以及正在美国受到热议的亚洲战略性“再平衡”的地缘政治考虑。
