Summary
“Now the US has become a wrecking ball to the system,” a WTO insider tells me. “It’s like Gotham City where the Joker took over.” In the words of the European Union’s ambassador to the WTO, the United States is “walking away from the system it largely built up itself; the architect of global governance is taking time off.” It is a sea change in Geneva and for the world.
