"Since 11 December 2019, the Appellate Body is no longer able to deliver binding resolutions of trade disputes. Nor can it guarantee the right to appellate review. New appointments to the WTO's Appellate Body are blocked." This is due to the US blocking appointments to the Appellate Body. Basically the US does not want WTO rules to be binding, and want to be able to invoke national security to override any WTO rule without having this permit any kind of trade measures in response. Edit: I don't think this is necessarily terrible. The MFN rule is a problem for countries that form close associations in trade blocks, like the EU, so its destruction is probably good.
