The World Trade Organization was established by the United States to force other nations to open their markets to U.S. goods.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) was not established by the United States alone. It was founded on January 1, 1995, and is now comprised of 164 member states, including the United States. The purpose of the WTO is to ensure free and fair trade among its member states by providing a forum for negotiations and resolving disputes. The WTO does not exist solely to benefit the United States or any other single country.
