The US withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will not affect the work of the Eurasian Customs Union.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Igor Shuvalov, stated about the aforementioned, according to TASS  news agency of the country.

“I don’t think that the US withdrawal from the TPP will affect Russia’s relations with China and the [other Eurasian] Customs Union countries [which include Armenia],” said Shuvalov. “We are building our own Eurasian partnership.”
