Ouch! Spanked by the WTO
What did you expect?

The US has a shameful history of NOT participating in the spirit of FREE TRADE.

It seems to be a one-way street all the way.

If a nation does not want to accept US economic bullying or political policies, they face (unofficial) financial punitive punishments (visa vi illegal tariffs, protracted industry killing border closures) which the 'international democracy' has repeatedly deemed wrong.

It seems that trade mechanisms like NAFTA are just more terms to use in news sound bites and do not really express any forward movement in fair international trade.
