Apparently the U.S. already suspended their financial contributions to the WTO back in March, and it sounds like they're planning on leaving anyway. So voting to kick them out seems like the inevitable outcome at this point.

The United States has paused contributions to the World Trade Organization, three trade sources told Reuters, as U.S. President Donald Trump's administration ramps up efforts to cut government spending.
The Trump administration is retreating from global institutions it sees as at odds with his "America First" economic policies.It plans to quit some, such as the World Health Organization, and has cut contributions to others as part of a broad review of federal spending.
