The populist radio shows warned about this monstrosity 25 years ago, along with NAFTA. Of course, our idiot reps passed them anyway.

The WTO sucks. China has gotten a pass for many years.

October is the deadline.

The USA is giving the WTO until October to straighten out the unfair advantages it gives China.

The end of October (Halloween), is also when Brexit occurs to the EU.

The old trade order is being challenged. Bigly.
