Good morning, this is Irene. Today we’re covering the EU’s call for the US to help it reform the WTO, rather than cripple the organization by continuing to block appointments.

US should work with EU to help WTO clean up its act,
says EU trade chief. The US has been blocking WTO appointments over concerns about how the WTO operates, including how the WTO approaches subsidies, technology transfers, and the economic role of the state. The EU trade chief says that the US is not alone in its concern but that the US’s current approach is preventing the WTO from doing necessary work.
