The Biden-Harris administration believes that trade and the WTO can be a force for good that encourages a race to the top and addresses global challenges as they arise.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Katherine Tai, U.S. Trade Rep.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Biden administration said it\u2019s committed to the World Trade Organization, but reaffirmed previous U.S. criticisms of its dispute settlement system. U.S. Trade Rep. Katherine Tai said Washington wants the WTO to succeed and is willing to come to an agreement on multiple disputes regarding trade and health proposals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all recognize the importance of the WTO and we all wanted to succeed,\u201d she stated. \u201cWe understand the value of a forum where we can propose ideas to improve multilateral trade rules.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;The Biden-Harris Administration believes that trade \u2013 and the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wto?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WTO<\/a> \u2013 can be a force for good that encourages a race to the top and addresses global challenges as they arise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Watch my full speech about the WTO at the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GTP_Trade?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GTP_Trade<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zRIwhm1npg\">https:\/\/t.co\/zRIwhm1npg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ambassador Katherine Tai (@AmbassadorTai) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmbassadorTai\/status\/1449027528467877889?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The organization\u2019s top dispute settlement panel has been stagnant since December 2019 after then-President Donald Trump blocked the appointment of new judges to the body. Trump argued the panel\u2019s rules work against America\u2019s interests and said the U.S. will block any new actions until new rules are drafted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is also essential to bring vitality back to the WTO\u2019s negotiating functions,\u201d the Trade Rep. continued. \u201cA key stumbling block is doubt that negotiations lead to rules that benefit or apply to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Tai largely enforced that same \u2018America First\u2019 agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery trade minister that I have heard from has expressed the view that the WTO needs reform,\u201d she stated. \u201cThe organization has rightfully been accused of existing in a bubble, isolated from reality, and slow to recognize global development. That must change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tai\u2019s comments come ahead of a major meeting next month with the WTO hoping to make reforms and broker its first multi-lateral trade deal since 2013.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/voterga-to-appeal-ruling-to-toss-ga-election-fraud-lawsuit\/\">VoterGA To Appeal Ruling To Toss Ga.
