WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Biden administration believes the World Trade Organization has a “very important role” to play in the context of U.S. concerns about China’s failure to adhere to global trading norms, U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said on Monday.
Tai told an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies that Washington would continue to work on reforming the global trade watchdog.
“We also need to be agile and to … think outside of the box with respect to how we can be more effective in addressing the concerns that we have been struggling to address with China on trade,” she said.
