Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump has been privately suggesting that he wants the US to withdraw from the World Trade Organization, according to a new report.

Trump has been repeatedly telling White House officials he wants out from the global trade organization, Axios reported Friday.

"He's (threatened to withdraw) 100 times. It would totally (screw) us as a country," a source who's discussed the subject with Trump told Axios.

The source also told the publication that Trump has lamented, "We always get f---ed by them. I don't know why we're in it. The WTO is designed by the rest of the world to screw the United States."

The President's economic advisers have pushed back when Trump raises the idea of withdrawing from the organization that regulates international trade, Axios reported, citing sources with direct knowledge.
