Even your quote says The Paris think-tank said that trade unequivocally raised living standards, but whether jobs in rich countries were more or less at risk was impossible to answer simply. So higher living standards, and data about jobs being more or less at risk isn't conclusive. As for inequality, it apparently has risen in most developed countries, but 1 - It decreases in the world as a whole as less developed countries develop (at least to the extent they do develop, and mostly the ones that are not developing are the ones that don't open up their economies to trade/globilization), and 2 - In many of the rich countries, including the US, the non-rich are better off, even if they aren't as much better off as the rich are.
