Minister talks up other trade prospects

As the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership makes a slow burn to oblivion, Trade Minister Steve Ciobo has turned his attention to securing other trade pacts.

Both US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have hammered nails into the TTP coffin.

Mr Ciobo told ABC Radio on Tuesday Australian officials were pursuing a raft of other deals and are in talks with Indonesia, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Arab states.
