USA under Trump is something else,yet Igbos or igbos see him as their messiah,the same way they tried to stop akinwunmi adeshina of Afdb.

They might be wondering how a lady from a corrupt shithole like Nigeria will be in charge of a sensitive position like the WTO.


Don't mind that Fulani herdsmen loving Trump.
He hates yeebos even though they love him.

This is really just crazy to be honest. Must every conversation begin or end with these Igbo guys? What's the connection between what was said and your bashing of the Igbo tribe.
This obsession is laughable. We all have our origin, that simply makes us people of the world. People displaying hatred should be pitied.

The US our eastern brothers love sooo much, I bet some fools among them will still support trump for going against okonjo iweala

Opposition is all about interest, this is international politics not about love stories.

Why should southeasterners hate US? Because they oppose Iweala? Your childishness is legendary.

If you know the percentage of Easterners that are US Citizens, you will just keep your opinion to yourself.

Yes....China, Japan and the EU have openly endorsed her.

Its just Trump's paranoia about Washington.

but they DIDN'T VETO. Are you dumb?
What does veto mean? The US already rejected her; they already vetoed her candidature. Veto does not necessarily imply overruling. Constitutionally rejecting a move is considered as a veto.

Where did you get your education? undecided

That's what Trump wants.
He knows by voting, his candidate will still lose.

He just wants to dabaru everything. Worse still, the GC will.meet after the US elections. If he wins, he will be more emboldened.

But I know somewhere, there will be concessions and understanding.

is it by force for U.S to support her? I love her but U.S has the right to support whoever they want to support. You need to understand that.

Because we are in the words of a former British prime minister, "fantastically corrupt"
Besides the US and South Korea are very strong aliies
And the fact that China openly support her doesn't do her much favor in the White House

It has always been very obvious that Trump is a racist. But some of my fellow countrymen believe the sun shines through his ass.
He did the same with Adeshina. Now, he's doing the same with their kinswoman.

I wonder how they will spin this.

US trade secretary lighthizer feels NOI is more internationally pro-trade.

A globalist, so to speak. Which is What the WTO is about anyway.

They fear that she is the direct opposite of the Trump trade ideals which is more narrow .
She can't be bullied.

And add to the fact that China is supporting her.
It is a no brainier why trump would go for the Korean who is far more malleable.

Politics of self interest at its finest.

I pray China does not let go too.

YES they can.

The rule of the organization calls for unanimous vote by all members.
Any member can veto not just US alone.
For now only the US is objecting to her candidacy.

Sanchez01:

The US may veto the decision as they are clearly against NOI.

US can’t veto anything!

The rules stated that, all member states must have a consensus or rally around a single candidate at this stage for that candidate to prevail.

So if any single member state disagrees at this stage like US has done, they will move to the next stage, which is member states will state lobbying and influencing other states to back their prefer candidate, this is the consultation stage.

If after consultation, there is still no consensus candidate or non of the two candidates dropped off, it goes for a final vote and the winner of that vote will be about pointed.

That WAS the AFDB.
