The United States has submitted a memorandum to the World Trade Organization (WTO) detailing concerns about its operations and proposing reforms, a move seen as constructive despite past administrations' critical stances. Both the Trump and Biden administrations have expressed dissatisfaction with the WTO's functioning, with the former questioning trade arrangements and the latter vetoing the appellate body and refusing to acknowledge a ruling on steel imports. The US has also paid its WTO dues for 2024 and 2025, suggesting a continued, albeit critical, engagement with the institution.
