Could you elaborate a little: wouldn't sanctions have effects on the US? What has the WTO done that has caused this roadblock?
I have tried searching online, but the info is so iffey. Thanks.

You would think sanctions would affect the US, but sometimes I wonder if the people who make decisions even care. It doesn't change their paycheck week to week, or the fancy job they have lined up when they leave government.
The WTO has not put up any road blocks yet. But it is only as strong as its members. If the rest of the world is going to sit by and let the US remain out of compliance, the WTO is a very weak body. WHile some have commented at a couple of opportunities, we still have not seen complete disgust at the largest member's failure to comply and its unprecedented attempt to withdraw its commitments.
