The WTO is criticized by opponents of free trade for all of the following reasons except

Group of answer choices

its trade laws allow imports from low-wage countries and result in a loss of jobs in high-wage countries

the adverse impact that some of its rulings have had on environmental policies

its inability to force a member nation to take an action to which it is opposed.

It does not take any action against nations who still import even when the environment has become hazardous.
It's rules and regulations might make some of the nation's wealthier while nations suffer.
