A riot is brewing. 127 countries file WTO protest against the US — amarynth

Amarynth's English translation of an article by ATRcons.

The US-controlled "rules-based order " in trade that is run for the benefit of the US is running into headwinds. End of the WTO in sight?

Am I missing something? Filing a protest* with the WTO against the US is like asking OJ to find the real killers.

*Also, such "protests" have about as much impact as a Change.org "petition.

Petition might be a better descriptor.

“ Therefore, many countries are now looking at bilateral free trade agreements as a real alternative to the WTO in the international trade system.”

This is the preferred MAGA/Trump policy..,,

The USMCA is a trilateral agreement.

What a load of nonsense

Bilateral trade agreements are fine with the WTO (See RTAs).

You are free to ignore WTO decisions but it means the other party can retaliate.

It's about time people realised most favoured nation status really means least favoured nation status as RTAs are all over the place.

Trump and the US before him had the hump with the WTO as it wouldn't defend the 'US controlled rulee based order'

When tariffs are practically zero anyway RTAs do more. Its about conformity and regulations

Do try to get into the 21st century as we haven't cared about tariffs for that long.
