Trump says holding talks on ‘very dramatic’ reform of WTO
DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 22, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said talks were going on aimed at overhauling the World Trade Organization, the arbitrator of global commerce that the US leader accuses of treating Washington unfairly.
“I’ve had a dispute running with them for quite a while because our country hasn’t been treated fairly,” Trump said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, speaking alongside WTO chief Roberto Azevedo. “We’re talking about a whole new structure for the deal… We’ll have to do something,” Trump told reporters.
