Biden proposed the concept of the "Indo-Pacific Economic Architecture" to the outside world at the East Asia Summit (East Asia Summit) held photo retouching online as early as October 2021. This economic and trade initiative is mainly to fill the strategic gap left by the Trump administration's withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (then called TPP, now CPTPP) in 2017, allowing the United States to integrate economic and trade with Asia.
