U.S. Trade Representative Tai testifies before a Senate Finance Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington
Tai said in excerpts of remarks to be delivered at a forum in Washington alongside WTO Director General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, that WTO member countries need to commit to a reform agenda that puts workers first and puts the trade body at the center of efforts to tackle climate change. "The United States wants a WTO where dispute settlement is fair and effective and supports a healthy balance of sovereignty, democracy, and economic integration," Tai will say at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
