Question

To promote freer trade among nations, the WTO works to reduce which two categories of barriers?

Options

• Tariff and non-tariff barriers

• Cultural and linguistic barriers

• Political and military barriers

• Geographic and climatic barriers

Answer 1

A core WTO objective is to reduce tariff barriers (customs duties) and non-tariff barriers (such as quotas and licensing requirements). This goes hand in hand with eliminating discrimination in international trade.
