OPINION: The election of JoeBiden bodes well for the first female World Trade Organisation director-general. And she is African, writes VictorAfrica. wto Trump Elections2020

Three days before the meeting of the General Council of the World Trade Organisation, it was curiously postponed.

In the week preceding the November 9 meeting, President Donald Trump entertained the world with his refusal to concede defeat, fuelled by his allegations of fraud, without much evidence. Trump was prepared to stymie her confirmation even though she had been recommended ahead of Yoo Myung-hee, the other female candidate from South Korea.In opposing Dr Okonjo-Iweala for director-general, the Office of the US Trade Representative argued that the WTO “must be led by someone with real, hands-on experience in the field”, adding that there had been “no multilateral tariff negotiations in 25 years”.

Joe Biden is not going to put the interests of the world or Africa above those of the US. But he has the experience of starting his term in the middle of a global crisis, like the 2008 credit crunch.
