The World Trade Relief Group believes that the United States is "no reason" on the grounds of national security threats."In the case,".

(Geneva Composite Electric) The World Trade Organization ruling, the steel and aluminum tariffs implemented by the United States during the term of the United States, the former President Trump violated the international trade rules.Washington immediately stated that the tariff would not be revoked.

Trump's government is based on Article 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Law on the grounds of protecting national security in 2018 to impose 25%and 10%tariffs on the global imported steel and aluminum, which has triggered the United States and trading partners, respectively, which has triggered the United States and trading partners.The dispute.

The WTO's ruling team composed of three trading experts was appointed appeal to China, Norway, Switzerland, and Turkey. The group said in the report on Friday (December 9) that the US approach does not meet the WTO rules, and it is recommended thatThe United States and the WTO rules remain consistent.

They believe that the United States is "unreasonable" on the grounds that the United States is threatened by national security, because these measures are not "adopted in the emergency during the war or other international relations."

China hopes that the United States will "correct the wrong behavior as soon as possible"

China's announcement in the WTO shows that it is hoped that the United States will respect the ruling of the expert group and "correct the wrong behavior as soon as possible."

However, Hodg, a spokesman for the US Trade Representative Office, said in a statement that the United States strongly opposed the "error interpretation and conclusion" in the World Trade Report, and will not cancel tariffs as a result.

The core argument of the United States is that national security should be judged by various countries, rather than evaluated the three World Trade Rules in Geneva.

Hodg said: "The WTO has proven invalidity in the problem of the continuous serious non -market -oriented capacity of China and other countries.… World Trade now suggested that the United States should also stand by, but the United States will not hand over its basic security decision -making power to the World Trade Expert Group. Based on these disputes, we do not intend to cancel the tariffs imposed by Article 232. "

The US steel industry also criticized the WTO ruling.The United States Iron and Steel Workers' Federation and the US Iron and Steel Association issued a statement to accuse the WTO of overwhelming power and call on the Bayeng government to maintain tariffs.

The ruling of WTO is unlikely to have much impact on American steel and aluminum manufacturers because the United States can appeal within 60 days.However, because Washington blocked the appointment of new members of the WTO agency in 2019, this means that the World Trade Appeals agency will not be able to accept the appeal case.

China, Norway, Switzerland, and Turkey were complained to the World Trade Organization with the United States in 2018 with the European Union, Canada, India, Mexico, Russia and other countries.Two related disputes in Russia and India have not resolved. The European Union and several countries have also levied tariffs on US export products as revenge.
