With the U.S. as the complaining party:So, assuming that the 19 cases resolved with the U.S. as responding party are all "losses," my math* shows that WTO rulings go against the U.S. 45% of the time.

*Feel free to check my math. I used 25+28+15 for the wins, and 4+19+33 for the losses.
Or, leaving the “without litigation” cases out altogether, the WTO rules against the U.S. 46% of the time.
Okay, lets say you are correct. You appear to be.
Are you saying we should celebrate because we lost sovereignty and self-determination only 45% of the time?
I wouldn’t sign on to a plan that saw us lose 1% of our sovereignty on any issue.
