United States initiates dispute complaints against five members over duties on US products
The United States has requested WTO dispute consultations with Canada, China, the European Union, Mexico and Turkey regarding additional duties imposed by the five WTO members on imports of certain US products. The request was circulated to WTO members on 19 July.
The duties were imposed in response to the additional duties imposed by the United States on steel and aluminium products. The United States claims the actions by the five WTO members are inconsistent with provisions of the WTO's General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994.
