Newsweek -The United States has suspended its contributions to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Reuters reported, citing three trade sources.
Reuters' reporting comes as the Trump administration continues adopting protectionist trade policies and intensifies its efforts to drastically reduce government spending.
President Donald Trump has also put the U.S. on a broader shift away from international institutions he and his allies see as conflicting with their "America First" economic agenda.
That shift includes imposing steep tariffs on American trading partners and pulling away from international bodies including the WTO, the World Health Organization, the United Nations and foreign aid initiatives.
