The World Trade Organization sees a "challenging" and "difficult" road ahead for international trade liberalization due to the current political climate.
WTO director-general Roberto Azevedo said Thursday he's confident Mexico and the United States can sort out their current trade difficulties, which include a border-crossing slowdown, U.S. threats to close the border and the still-pending ratification of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.
But the fight to expand free trade "is going to be challenging, is going to be difficult, above all because of the political conditions we have in the world today."
