Trump threatens to take US out of World Trade Organization
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRepublican White House nominee Donald Trump suggests the US could pull out of the World Trade Organization if he is elected president.
Trump tells NBC’s “Meet the Press” he would slap punitive taxes on firms that moved manufacturing activities abroad, citing Mexico as an example.
When show host Chuck Todd says that such plans would be challenged at the WTO, Trump responds: “Doesn’t matter. We’ll renegotiate or pull out. These trade deals are a disaster, Chuck. The World Trade Organization is a disaster.”
