55% : U.S. Protectionism and Tariffs Influence Omission as Negotiations Delay Final Release The "Gyeongju Declaration" adopted by the 21 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) member leaders during the main session on the 1st omitted the term "World Trade Organization (WTO)," which had appeared in previous joint declarations.52% : Analysts suggest this reflects the declining trend in free trade amid rising protectionism driven by U.S.-initiated tariff measures.
48% : It was reported that disagreements over the wording of "free trade" in the Gyeongju Declaration among APEC members, including the U.S., delayed the final announcement until the morning of the same day, just hours before the scheduled release.
44% : Except during the Trump administration, APEC declarations have historically emphasized multilateralism by reaffirming support for free trade and strongly advocating for the WTO system.
