Is the WTO a central authority? Does it control trade? Does it tell the US we have to open our markets? Does it tell other countries, the WTO will grant them preferences if it considers them "least developed countries" like China? Does it promigulate the lie that what is happening to our economy is "free trade"?

Yes. W relented on the steel tariffs. The WTO is the globalist version of the economic police. Sadly, we are surrendering to the U.N. and the ecoplanners our capitalist way of life, one day at a time.
