They are no longer developing nations and both the countries can’t take benefits of WTO in this regard. Still, advantage is being taken by these countries which had put the US in disadvantage”, he said.

Trump further said, “WTO views certain countries like China and India as they are growing. Well, they have grown”. Trump also warned that the US will not let such countries to take advantage of the WTO.
