President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested pulling the US out of the World Trade Organization, according to a report published Friday by the news website Axios. Such a move would upend the international trade system and throw economies into chaos. It is unlikely that Trump will ultimately pull the US out of the WTO, the report said, and White House officials said there was no plan to do so.

President Donald Trump reportedly wants to yank the US out of the World Trade Organization, a move that would upend the decades-old international trading order.

Jonathan Swan at the news website Axios cited an anonymous source Friday as saying Trump had repeatedly asked his advisers about pulling the US out of the WTO and had said the rest of the world used the organization to "screw the United States."

You will always have Russia, China and the other dictator countries, ya know, the ones that would backstab in a nanosecond.

You and the Republican party don't give a shit about us anyway. Fuck you and your fucked up party.

"We always get fucked by them [the WTO]. I don’t know why we’re in it. The WTO is designed by the rest of the world to screw the United States."
