barriers and increasing trade through international trade agreements.
In 1948, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was established to reduce tariffs and expand world trade.
In 1995, the World Trade Organization (WTO) was founded to ensure compliance with GATT, to negotiate new trade agreements, and to resolve trade disputes.
