The supreme court of world trade, otherwise known as the “appellate body” of the World Trade Organization, will cease functioning on Wednesday. The court is supposed to have seven members but it currently has four vacancies, with two more members retiring on Tuesday. That leaves one active judge, two short of the number required to rule on international trade disputes.
Those vacancies haven’t been filled thanks to the Trump administration’s war on the WTO. The president has criticized the WTO for allowing China to retain its special status as a developing nation (though it's now number two in the world economically) while looking the other way when it violates WTO rules. Instead of sanctioning China for subsidizing many of its products to gain a special advantage over its global competitors, the supreme court has instead ruled against Trump’s tariffs, which were enacted in part to deal with such subsidies. Accordingly, the Trump administration has refused to allow those vacancies to be filled.

That Trump Guy,,,
Can read the
Stitches on a
Fastball!
Unilateral withdraw from WTO is the correct path for the US.
We don’t need them. At all.
And they are a hindrance to our best interests.
Yup, more winning
We don’t even have to withdraw. They’re imploding.
I wonder though if this wasn’t the intent of giving China access on such favorable terms. They had to know this would be the result.
Great news!
Looking forward to the Trump rally on Tuesday night!
My criteria: if a country can make nuclear weapons, build aircraft carriers (even crude ones), and send satellites and probes into space, it is long past being a “developing nation.” China should have been given the boot a long time ago.
Trump is our first Systems Thinker President.
Comes naturally to a master builder.
He’s taken a “wrecking ball” to the liberal and left wing and communist worlds.
I would love for him to say this and thank miley cyrus for the song title.
The song is HORRIBLE, just like her.
this is spectacular
