#Trump and #Lutnick like acting as if they’re subsidizing #Canada. Meanwhile, the #US is violating rulings of the #WorldTradeOrganization that result in #Canada having to pay duties and taxes and tariffs for things that they’re not supposed to. Who’s subsidizing who here, #Lutnug and #Trumpet?

Exclusive-US suspends financial contributions to WTO, trade sources say By Emma Farge GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States has paused contributions to the World Trade Organization, three trade sources told Reuters, as U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration ramps up efforts to cut government spending. The Trump administration is retreating from global institutions it sees as at odds with his "America First" economic policies. It plans to quit some, such as the World Health Organization, and has cut contributions to others as part of a broad review of federal spending. The WTO has already been hobbled by a U.S. move in 2019 during Trump’s first term to block new judge appointments to its top appeals court, which left its key dispute settlement system only partially functional. Washington had accused the WTO Appellate Body of judicial overreach in trade disputes. The Geneva-based trade watchdog had an annual budget of 205 million Swiss francs ($232.06 million) in 2024. The United States was due to contribute about 11% of that based on a fees system that is proportionate to its share of global trade, according to public WTO documents. A U.S. delegate told a March 4 WTO budget meeting that its payments to the 2024 and 2025 budgets were on hold pending a review of contributions to international organisations and that it would inform the WTO of the outcome at an unspecified date, two trade sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said. A third trade source confirmed their account and said the WTO was coming up with a "Plan B" in case of a prolonged funding pause, without elaborating. All three sources asked for confidentiality because the budget meeting was private and the U.S. funding pause has not been formally announced. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for the U.S. mission to the WTO in Geneva did not immediately respond to a request for comment. WTO spokesperson Ismaila Dieng referred questions to U.S. authorities. "Generally, arrears can impact the operational capacity of the WTO Secretariat. But the Secretariat continues to manage its resources prudently and has plans in place to enable it to operate within the financial limitations imposed by any arrears," he said. As of end-December 2024, the United States had arrears of 22.7 million Swiss francs ($25.70 million), according to a WTO document obtained by Reuters marked "RESTRICTED" and dated February 21. Under WTO rules, any member that fails to pay its dues after more than a year is subject to "administrative measures" - a series of punitive steps that get progressively stricter the longer the fees go unpaid. The country is now classified as being in the first of three such categories, two of the trade sources confirmed to Reuters, which means its representatives can no longer preside over WTO bodies nor receive formal documentation. Reuters could not immediately establish if the WTO was already applying these measures to the United States. WTO spokesperson Dieng confirmed that the chair of the budget committee had informed WTO members that the United States was currently in "Category 1 arrears", along with other countries. "It remains the responsibility of WTO Members to implement the consequences associated with arrears," he said. As of end-2024, five other member countries - Bolivia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Gabon and Gambia - were in that category, the WTO restricted document showed. A total 38.4 million Swiss francs ($43.47 million) of contributions were outstanding, including unpaid fees from 2024 and prior, it showed. ($1 = 0.8834 Swiss francs)
