US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, 22 January, said that the United States has not been treated fairly by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) as it is not viewed as a developing nation, compared to China and India’s global status. The President was speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

“World Trade Organisation, as you know,I’ve had a dispute running with them for quite a while, because our country hasn’t been treated fairly. China is viewed as a developing nation. India is viewed as a developing nation. We’re not viewed as a developing nation,” he said.

He added that China would not be the country it is today without the help of the WTO.
