The WTO's dispute settlement system provides an effective mechanism for resolving trade disputes between nations. However, critics argue it lacks transparency and favors large corporate interests. Some nations have challenged the US's multibillion-dollar farm subsidies as distorting global markets. Additionally, the US use of corn for ethanol production has negatively impacted world food prices and food security. While the WTO aims to facilitate trade, its dispute processes and effects require further examination to balance economic and social priorities.
