Japan's minister for the economy has told reporters a deal's been struck but Canada's Trade Minister said an agreement among TPP countries on a trade deal is 'absolutely not true'.

Financial Times world trade editor, Shawn Donnan told Mike Hosking people in Da Nang have told him the chief negotiators are still talking and working towards a deal.

He said TPP leaders are keen to announce something tomorrow.

"There's still some ...details that are popping up at the end. Including possibly something on Labour's standards.'

Donnan said the Vietnamese were pushed by the US during the original negotiations to create unions that aren't run by the Government.
