Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will address the United Nations General Assembly in New York on 22 September 2016. He will also use the trip to seek US support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, and he is hopeful that it can be ratified by the US before the new president takes office in January 2017. The TPP is opposed by both presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Turnbull has stressed the "strategic importance" of the TPP in the South-east Asia region.
