Britain breaks ranks with Trump in bid to revive WTO (Politico)

An article by Politico in response to the UK’s confirmed plans to join an international trade dispute system. This move is described as a risk that may end up riling its U.S. allies, while bringing Britain closer to the EU. Includes comment from Professor Emily Lydgate, “Brussels will be happy to see that the U.K. is joining the MPIA (the World Trade Organization’s Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement)— many see this as long overdue…China is also a party to MPIA, so the U.K. is continuing to walk a tricky line between making trade deals with Washington D.C. and working constructively with other important trade partners.”
