The World Trade Organization (WTO) influences national politics by regulating and promoting international trade agreements among member countries. It aims to ensure free trade and provide a framework for resolving trade disputes. These regulations can challenge national policies that protect domestic industries, prompting countries to adjust their economic strategies to comply with international trade norms. Additionally, the WTO can impact political debates around globalization and economic sovereignty, affecting domestic policy decisions in areas such as labor, environmental standards, and tariffs, as nations balance global obligations with local interests.
