U.S. causing ‘trying times’ for trade (Manitoba Co-Operator) 

Manitoba Co-Operator (Canada) published an article on global trade. A recent virtual summit focusing on managing agricultural trade in an increasingly chaotic world focused largely on recent actions taken by the United States. Participant in the summit and Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber said the U.S. decision to effectively render the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization (WTO) useless by not filling vacancies on the dispute-settling body, combined with Trump’s other actions have resulted in “trying times.” He also noted the United States is now likely exceeding its WTO limits on domestic support for agriculture in 2019 and 2020.
