WTO chief ‘looks forward’ to working with Trump

The World Trade Organization chief said Friday she's “eager” to work with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and his trade team, while taking a wait-and-see stance about Trump's plans to impose new tariffs on goods from other countries including China, Mexico and Canada.

She made the comments to reporters after member countries handed her a second four-year term, in a vote with no opposition. The chief, a former Nigerian finance minister who has U.S. citizenship, took office in 2021 as the first woman and first African to hold the job of WTO chief.
