The WTO opposes quotas. Why did the WTO not stop the U.S.-Japanese quota during the 1980s?

Group of answer choices

There was a loophole in the GATT (at the time) that did not restrict nations from "voluntarily" curtailing their own exports.

Quotas are permitted under the GATT and WTOas long as they are implemented for an approved reason.

The political situation at the time was tense; the GATT did not want to take on the powerhouses of the United States and Japan over such a small issue.

The WTO operates by consensus; all parties wanted the quotas.
