Headline from the Christian Science Monitor: "As G-20 battles protectionism, a cautionary tale in Ecuador" [emphasis mine]
Subhead for that same article: "The country has put steep tariffs on an array of goods. Seventeen of the world's 20 largest economies have broken recent promises not to take protectionist measures." [emphasis mine]
Presumably, the other three were smart enough not to make such a stupid promise in the first place.
