WTO warns US over protectionist sentiment

The Financial Times reports:

"The US needs to head off domestic protectionist sentiment that risks reducing the openness of the US economy and dampening growth," the World Trade Organisation warned on Wednesday.

In its latest report on US trade policies, written before the controversy over the sale of US port operations to a company based in the United Arab Emirates, the WTO secretariat says open US markets have helped fuel solid economic expansion by supporting a “continuous drive for change and efficiency”.
