President Donald Trump threatened to withdraw the United States from the World Trade Organization unless the international organization's appellate tribunal resolves cases in favor of the U.S.
Trump claimed without evidence that the United States frequently lost cases until he assumed the presidency in 2017, but that the country's fortunes there had reversed due to his influence. His comments came while addressing reporters during the daily White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing Friday.
