President-elect Donald Trump says the US will quit the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal on his first day in the White House.
He made the announcement in a video messageoutlining what he intends to do first when he takes office in January.
The TPP trade deal was signed by 12 countries which together cover 40% of the world's economy.
The Republican also pledged to reduce "job-killing restrictions" on coal production and stop visa abuses.
But there was no mention of repealing Obamacare or building a wall on the southern border with Mexico, two actions he said during the campaign he would do as soon as he assumed power.
His surprise election win two weeks ago has sparked protests across the US.
The TPP was agreed in 2015 by countries including Japan, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Mexico, but is not yet ratified.
Its aim was to deepen economic ties and boost growth but its opponents say it was negotiated in secret and it favours big corporations.
Reaction to Trump quitting TPP"Not a surprise, but his trade policies will undermine the gains that TPP would have brought for the US." Parag Khanna, Centre on Asia and Globalisation
"Very depressing news. It means the end of US leadership on trade and the passing of the baton to Asia." Deborah Elms, Asian Trade Center
"The collapse of the TPP will now create a void in Asia. There is lots of talk about China now moving in to fill it. Harumi Taguchi, economist
In the video message, Mr Trump said his governing agenda would be based on "putting America first".
The six executive actions he would take on day one are:
The president-elect has spent the last week starting to put together his new team.
He said in the video that "truly great and talented men and women, patriots are being brought in and many will soon be a part of our government".
Some key appointments have been made, but not without controversy.
Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, who was turned down as a federal judge in 1986 due to racism complaints, will head the Justice Department.
And the news that Steve Bannon, former editor-in-chief of the conservative Breitbart website, was the new White House strategist was welcomed by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
One of Trump's immigration advisers, Kris Kobach, was unwittingly photographed meeting him while holding a document on view that contained some hardline proposals.
Among them was the re-introduction of registration for people arriving from mostly Muslim countries, which was brought in after the September 11 attacks but later dropped.
美國候任總統特朗普表示,將在明年入主白宮后第一天就宣布退出《跨太平洋伙伴關系協定》(TPP)。
這是特朗普在社交網站發布的錄像短片中透露的。該短片闡述了特朗普在明年1月20日上任后首先打算完成的工作。
目前有12個國家已結束TPP談判並達成TPP貿易協定。該協議創始成員國的經濟總量占全球經濟規模的40%。
特朗普在短片中還保證減少對煤炭生產的監管限制,並調查濫用簽證的情況。
不過,特朗普沒有提到取消奧巴馬的醫保改革計划,或在美國南部與墨西哥交界處修建隔離高牆的事情。特朗普在競選期間曾表示,他一旦上台,將盡快推行上述計划。
特朗普在兩周前意外當選引發了美國各地的抗議浪潮。
包括日本、馬來西亞、澳大利亞、新西蘭、加拿大和墨西哥在內的國家在2015年達成TPP協議,但目前尚未獲得各國批准。
跨太平洋伙伴關系協定旨在深化各成員國之間的經濟聯系,並促進增長。但反對TPP的人士說,該協定談判過程保密,其條款對跨國大公司有利。
亞太地區領導人上周末在出席秘魯舉行的亞太經合峰會時表示,盡管特朗普反對,但他們仍將繼續推動TPP協定。
不過,日本首相安倍在周一表示,如果沒有美國的參與,TPP協定將毫無意義。
特朗普在短片中還表示,他的執政政綱將建基于“美國優先”的原則。特朗普表示,在執政當天,他將頒布六項行政命令:
美國候任總統特朗普過去一周都在忙于組建執政團隊。
