영문 초록

The recently launched U.S. Trump Administration is expected to further frustrate the stability of the international trade order as ‘America First’ trade policies appear to be consistently showing characteristics of trade protectionism and neo-isolationism. Despite the fact that the fundamental reason of the U.S. trade deficits lie in the prolonged lackluster growth trends in world production output and trade, the U.S. government has been placing the blame on its trade agreements as being ‘unfair’, stealing jobs and undermining its manufacturing base. This article provides an overview of the Trump Administration s trade policies as they are formulated so far in a number of official reports and a series of administrative orders, and analyzes its contents to foresee the implications on the global trading system that has been maintaining its governance through the WTO system. This Article suggests that the denial and distrust that the Trump Administration shows against the dispute settlement system of the WTO is not for the progressive benefit of the global trading system but for mere self-seeking national interests. In order to seek stability in the world trade order in this new ‘Trump era’, all WTO member countries should join hands to advance the multilateral trading system, by initiating momentum in starting multilateral talks on such new trade issues as digital trade for instance. As a beneficiary of the multilateral trading system during the past 50 years, it is now high time for Korea to pursue a more leading role in resuscitating the legislative function of the WTO.
