In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryWithdraws U.S. approval of World Trade Organization
This resolution would withdraw Congress's approval of the agreement that created the World Trade Organization, the international body that handles trade disputes between countries and sets rules for global commerce. If passed, it would reverse the congressional approval that originally put the U.S. into the WTO in 1995.
How it affects you
This change would affect Americans broadly, though the summary doesn't spell out the specific effects. Withdrawing from the WTO could impact what you pay for imported goods, how U.S. companies do business abroad, and how trade disputes get resolved. The full consequences would depend on how other countries respond and what trade arrangements replace the current system.
