Despite winning with a wide margin, Donald Trump insisted that she is not fit for the appointment. He stated that the appointment should be given to her closest rival, Yoo Myung - hee.

Trump rejected Ngozi Okonjo Iweala's appointment based on the fact that she lacked experience and procedural issues required by the World Trade Organization, for effectiveness.

Trump-backed up his claim with the evidence that the South Korean Current Trade Minister, Yoo Myung - hee had more working experience of 25 years than Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. He further stated that Yoo Myung hee had worked in several trade institutions as a trade policymaker, and she has all the required skills.
