World Trade Organisation Has Been Very Unfair To ‘Developing’ United States For Many Years: President Donald Trump 

United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday (22 January) complained about ‘unfair’ treatment his country has received from the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and said that while India and China are being considered as developing nations by the global trade body but US is not, reports ANI.

"But the World Trade Organisation -- as you know, I've had a dispute running with them for quite a while, because our country hasn't been treated fairly. China is viewed as a developing nation. India is viewed as a developing nation. We're not viewed a developing nation," the US President said while speaking at a press conference in Switzerland’s Davos, according to a transcript by the White House.

"As far as I'm concerned, we're a developing nation, too. But they got tremendous advantages by the fact that they were considered "developing" and we weren't. And they shouldn't be. But if they are, we are. And we're talking about a whole new structure for the deal, or we'll have to do something," said Trump.

The US President further stressed that the WTO has been “very unfair” to the US for many years and that without its help China would not have been where it is right now.

“But the World Trade Organization has been very unfair to the United States for many, many years.  And without it, China wouldn’t be China, and China wouldn’t be where they are right now.  I mean, China — that was the vehicle that they used.  And I give them great credit.  And I also don’t give the people that were in my position great credit, because, frankly, they let that all happen.  But the vehicle was the World Trade Organization,” he said.
