WTO chief: Urged de-escalation with officials from the US and China

Comments from the WTO leader:

• World trade system has been undermined by US tariffs and bilateral deals, but still proving resilient
• Says she agrees WTO needs reforms, should use this crisis to make organization more flexible, faster and more efficient
• Says very worried about spike in US-China trade tensions, hopes they de-escalate

It’s hard to imagine what role the WTO can even play in the future.
