If a major trading partner repeatedly fails to disclose their subsidies, or if significant non-disclosed subsidies are found, the U.S. Trade Representative would then be required to notify the WTO regarding those foreign subsidies.&nbsp; By making sure the United States takes appropriate action under WTO procedures, the amendment helps ensure that such subsidies are out in the open, and takes the first step toward enforcing basic obligations of WTO member countries.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, DC &ndash;
