EU argues against US steel tariffs at WTO
By EUobserver
The EU argued on Monday for the withdrawal of tariffs imposed on metal imports by US president Donald Trump in front of a three-person panel of adjudicators at the World Trade Organization (WTO). Trump set duties in 2018 of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminium, citing a national security threat. The WTO panel said it will not deliver rulings before the final quarter of 2020, Reuters reported.
