Draft admin proposal would allow Trump to ignore key WTO principles

A draft of a bill from the Trump administration would propose having the US abandon key World Trade Organization principles and offer President Donald Trump significantly more discretion over US trade policy, Axios reported Sunday.

Trump ordered the draft legislation and was briefed on it in May, Axios reported, citing sources familiar with the situation, and the report said most officials involved in crafting the proposal believe it is "unrealistic or unworkable."

White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters told Axios that the leaked draft is not "actual legislation that the administration was preparing to rollout."

"Principals have not even met to review any text of legislation on reciprocal trade," Walters told the news site.
