U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai will have an online meeting on Wednesday with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the director-general of the World Trade Organization, Tai’s media office said, weeks before it holds an import ministerial conference.

Tai spoke by telephone earlier this month with the head of the WTO and acknowledged the “difficult logistical challenges” facing the upcoming WTO conference.
