Byung-il Choi, a South Korean economist and former trade negotiator, has been urging his country to join that agreement, which its neighbor Japan has signed. New hostility from Washington may finally make it possible, and South Korea’s president, Mr. Lee, has been more amenable to Japan than many expected during his campaign.

“Japan and Korea believed that we are a staunch, ironclad ally of the U.S., but Donald Trump doesn’t believe in allies,” Mr. Choi said. “So Japan is anxious to get more significant members, and Korea’s incoming government is saying, ‘In the name of national interest, we could do anything.’”
