It's even more absurd that the admin are now trying to sqeeze out of the issue by changing the goalposts and now proposing to rewrite gaming laws and not have them included in trade agreements with the WTO. Basically it's a scenario where a country will not keep follow the spirit of a treaty it signed and wants to behave like a spoilt brat - basically, no cred.
Someone needs to get the clue that "cherry picking" parts of treaties you like and ignoring others was never part of the deal |
it is far worse than ignoring the spirit of the treaty but the letter of the law
the ajudication provision is defined to setup a third party court system to handle trade disputes amoung members. The US basically said we don't like the ruling we agreed to abide by so we are taking our ball and going home.
Well WTO is saying if you don't want to live up to your responsibilities then we are taking away all the benefits (berne convention).
