United States Not Supporting Okonjo-Iweala’s WTO Candidacy Despite American Citizenship

The United States of America might not be endorsing Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s candidacy to lead the World Trade Organisation, SaharaReporters has gathered.

This comes as a setback for Okonjo-Iweala despite obtaining American citizenship in 2019, thereby becoming a dual citizen of Nigeria and the US.

Meanwhile, the European Union has maintained its support for Okonjo-Iweala to become the Director-General of the WTO.

Experts now believe that the EU and US, who have historically agreed on decisions like these, may clash.

A top official privy to the candidacies race informed SaharaReporters that Okonjo-Iweala’s opponent, Yoo Myung-Hee of South Korea, has the upper hand to receive the backing of the United States.

While the backing is yet to be made official, the source affirmed that President of the US, Donald Trump, has said he will be backing a known person whom he has worked with.

The United States’ trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, has worked with Myung-Hee and is believed to prefer her candidature.

Okonjo-Iweala is likely to also receive the endorsement of China, Brazil and Japan even though that is yet to happen.

The officials stated that the US would be officially announcing its preferred candidate on November 7, 2020.

Okonjo-Iweala, who is yet to be announced winner of WTO, contrary to reports in the social media, is promoting the multilateral trading system, which the WTO has always leaned on, while the Trump administration has favoured bilateral trades.

She also wants to see increased access to drugs and vaccines in developing countries.

In addition to promising to return global trade to its multilateral legacy, Myung-Hee is proposing to use her 30-year experience in trade and diplomacy to smoothen US-China relations.

There are 164-member countries in the WTO and a consensus candidate has to be chosen before an announcement can be made.

Founded in 1995 to replace the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the WTO is the only global international organisation dealing with the rules of trade among nations.

Its main function is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible.

What are you doing for your country?
Should you be nominated instead?

Your USELESS presidents DESTROYED YOUR SHYTE-HOLE COUNTRY.
She was only ONE person and a WOMAN too.
What could she do with the kinds of USELESS presidents YOU keep rigging into office year after year? Dora Akunyuli sacrificed her blood and died in office fighting in NAFDAC and with CANCER. Who remembers her today?

NOI and her likes are better of OUTSIDE NIGERIA, where they would remain FREEEEEE from the CURSE of YOUR DARK CONTINENT of MATERIAL and SPIRITUAL POVERTY!

You are in Nigeria. . . . Go and sacrifice your own blood.

Wetin do your own hand?
She has made her choice as to what she wants to do with her life. Other countries value her services with or without YOUR support.
Go and do your part.

Oya Yoruba Muslims and their almajiri counterparts food don done, come and masturbate here... But no matter what you do and wish NOI will be announced as the next DG WTO.

Racist trump.

Na naija people/press dey give this woman the worst press

Very unfortunate

For anyone that thinks Sowore means good I pity una. He has only one god. Money

Sowore is just a typical afonja; very tribalistic human being.

Trump is just a useless orange racist. I knew he would never support a blank woman for any major international position. Good enough, America alone cannot determine who becomes the next DG. With the endorsement of EU, China, AU, Brazil etc, Ngozi should win easily. She can’t get this close and still lose.

Ok

Entitled peaceful protester. Everyone must personally do something for you. You guys condemn the police for asking "something for the boys" while you are not different from them. If you were born after 2007, go read some history of OBJ's administration.

NOI fvcked up for picking up US citizen. The US doesn't want her now. China that would have happily backed her is not sure whether she would be neutral or act as US puppet.

USA sidelined themselves from their roles as one of the top country in the world, all thanks to Trump.

France , Macron is the current world leader...

So USA can go to hell

Good luck Madam Ngozi.. We don't give a damn if USA support her or not... So far we support her.. She is winning this.. We have gone too far to lose this.. NOI, ignore haters.... We are winning this... Infact the whole region in Nigeria supports you


We the southwest, North west, North East, North Central and South South region of Nigeria, Yorubas in Togo, yorubas in Benin Republic, yorubas in Brazil, Yorubas in Ghana all support you and wish u da very position.. God bless you


To hell with South Korea candidate, to hell with USA support

We love you Maa.. Make Nigeria proud.

Cc: imhotep

Incase you don't want her to win, manage this small gift from me.
