💨 Abstract

The incumbent World Trade Organization (WTO) head Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is the only candidate running for the position, as nominations closed on Friday. This comes as observers anticipate a period of increased tariffs under U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who is known for his protectionist policies. Trump has previously blocked judge appointments at the WTO, and threatened tariffs on all imports.
