Trump threatens to pull US out of WTO 'if they don't shape up'
President Donald Trump said he would pull out of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) if it doesn't treat the US better, continuing his criticism of a cornerstone of the international trading system.
"If they don't shape up, I would withdraw from the WTO," Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg News at the White House.
A US withdrawal from the WTO would severely undermine the post-World War II multilateral trading system that the US helped build.
Trump said last month that the US is at a big disadvantage from being treated "very badly" by the WTO for many years and that the Geneva-based body needs to "change their ways."
