I recently—thanks also to the Minister—had a fascinating conversation with one of New Zealand's most senior trade negotiators, and he shared his view that after a 25-year agenda of aggressive free-trade agreement (FTA) negotiations, New Zealand is at the end of the golden weather. He used this expression to describe a current trade environment dealing with increasing geopolitical tension, rising protectionism, closed borders, a weakened World Trade Organization, and, frankly, the damage caused to New Zealand's reputation as a stable, uncomplicated trading partner brought about by divided public and political sentiment over the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
