  • Story Text: The head of the World Trade Organization told member states on Thursday that it had received "many" questions about the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on trade and would respond to their questions, according to a letter seen by Reuters.
    Observers say U.S. determination to double down on tariffs risks sidelining the Geneva-based organization and its free-trade mandate.
    The watchdog said it administers just over 75% of global trade, down from around 80% due to recent tariffs, in a calculation done before Trump's April 2 penalties took effect.
