TPP signatories have been expressing doubts about the future of the trade deal after Donald Trump's election victory in the United States.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said the controversial trade deal was dead "in the short term."

Australia's minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment Steve Ciobo said Trump's election made the deal less likely to be ratified by the US.

Mustapa Mohamed, Malaysia's International Trade and Industry Minister, said the agreement would fail without the participation of the world's biggest economy, and that might affect Malaysia's economy.
