Reading this, I’m surprised that the DG of the WTO hasn’t called an emergency meeting of key countries to discuss how to respond to the US trade proposals.

Now that is naughty, John. As you know, it's up to the members to call for this, not the WTO DG. (No room here for why it's a bad idea)

And guess what? Someone has. It's on the agenda of tomorrow's General Council meeting.

Guess who's called for it. Yes. China.

I know you're out of it now, but I look forward to a strong statement from the UK tomorrow.
