WTO chief insists trade body remains relevant as tariff-wielding Trump makes a run at White House

The head of the World Trade Organization insisted Friday that it remains relevant and its leaders focus on reform “no matter who comes into power" as Donald Trump — who as U.S. president bypassed WTO rules by slapping tariffs on America's friends and foes alike — makes another run at the White House. WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said it “really bugs me” when the Geneva trade body is depicted in the press as seemingly irrelevant — a claim based around the fact that its system of resolving trade disputes is gummed up. "It’s like the air you breathe: You take it for granted because you don’t see it every day,” she told reporters at WTO headquarters.
