For me it like "Why I cannot trade some Americans? They say that they are free."

You are mismatching unrestricted (wild) market with free market. Market, to be free, requires someone to play role of guard and punish bad actors, who disobey rules. Otherwise, bad actors will convert free market into non-free in no time.

Usually, such power is granted to a government or to an association of traders.

Currently, world have no united government. We have WTO, which is our world trade organization, but it have very limited power.

Why have enough power and strict moral principles to keep market free? As you said, USA cannot do that, of course, so maybe it should be job of Russia, Iran, China, or North Korea?
