U.S. Violated Trade Rules With Tariffs on China, WTO Says

10. My opinion is not about Trump being concerned about corporations having too much freedom ...

this is about an organization (the WTO) with corporations appointing 3 corporate lawyers as judges, that will rule on the side of corporations every time.

Stop making this about Trump. He policies suck, to be sure.

This is about sovereignty of nations and their ability to create laws that affect their nation, against the ability of the WTO to hold a court with corporate assigned judges and find any laws that limits trade and will rule on the side of corporations over country, every time.

As an example, the U.S. passed a law, U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act, to protect dolphins. If a country exporting tuna to the U.S. cannot prove to U.S. authorities that it meets the dolphin protection standards set out in U.S. law, the U.S. would embargo the imports (i.e. no importing tuna if catching the tuna kills dolphins).
Mexico sued the U.S. on behalf of the corporation exporting the tuna.

Guess who the WTO ruled in favor of?

We as a country are no longer allowed to pass laws that limit the free trade of any product, even if it is to protect life.

I'm against the WTO stripping OUR sovereignty (OUR ability to govern ourselves) in favor of free trade by corporations over any nation's laws.
