WTO chief says no 'indication' US will quit body under Trump

GENEVA - The head of the World Trade Organization said Thursday he had had no indication the United States would move to leave the WTO under Donald Trump's administration.

"I haven't had any indication from anybody that that could be the case," WTO chief Roberto Azevedo told reporters. During his campaign, President-elect Trump called the WTO a "disaster" and said the US could quit the Geneva-based body.
