Mexico May Leave World Trade Organization, Stressing Tensions With U.S.

The departure of Mexico’s ambassador from the World Trade Organization (WTO) could complicate trade disputes between the United State and Mexico — Arizona’s largest trading partner.

To find out more about what this means, The Show spoke with Sapna Gupta, a senior policy analyst at the Morrison Institute for Public Policy at Arizona State University.
