US Secretary of Trade Wilbur Ross said on Monday that it was “premature” to discuss the release of the United States from the World Trade Organization (WTO). In an interview with CNBC, Ross emphasized that the WTO needs "some reforms". “I think that it is really necessary to update and synchronize your actions, and we will see what it will lead to. But I think that we will say prematurely that we simply refuse it,” Ross said.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump sharply criticized the World Trade Organization. The Axios Internet portal , citing a source surrounded by Trump, said that he repeatedly declared his administration to his administration that he was tuned to exit from the WTO. US Minister of Finance Stephen Mnuchin denied this message.
It was reported that the Republican President entered the fight against unscrupulous trade rules and ordered to issue legislation that provides for the exit from the WTO.
