The U.S. World Trade Ambassador Pagan criticized the WTO's ruling at a meeting of the World Trade Dispute Solution on Friday.She said: "The United States will not give the decision -making power involving the basic security of the country to the World Trade Group. For more than 70 years, the United States has always insisted on a clear position, that is, national security issues cannot be reviewed by the World trade dispute mechanism."
(Geneva Composite Electric) The United States appealed on a number of rulings from the World Trade Organization, emphasizing that the United States will not put the decision -making power involving the national basic security of the WTO.China has criticized the United States as "unilateral bully".
The United States appealed to four rulings.These rulings include that the United States requires that all imported Hong Kong products must be marked as Chinese, and tariffs on steel and aluminums from other countries have violations of international trade terms.
Former Trump administration was imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from China, Norway, Switzerland, and Turkey in 2018 for maintaining national security in 2018; the current president has not lifted these tariffs after taking office.
Last month, the expert group established by the WTO ruled that the United States' approach did not match the terms of the General Agreement and Trade Agreement (GATT), and the United States did not do so reasonably, because these measures were not during the war or in war orThe international situation is extremely tight.
The U.S. Ambassador to the WTO Pagan criticized the WTO's ruling at a meeting of the World Trade Dispute Solution on Friday (January 27).She said: "The United States will not give the decision -making power involving the national basic security to the World Trade Group. For more than 70 years, the United States has adhered to a clear position that national security issues cannot be reviewed by the World trade dispute mechanism."
She shows that the United States cannot support the adoption of these "fundamental defects and destructive reports" and announced that the United States has decided to make an appeal.
Pagan is compared with Chinese representatives at the meeting.
According to the lecture obtained by Reuters, Li Chenggang, the Chinese Ambassador to the World Trade, said at the conference: "These disturbing behaviors in the United States clearly depict the image of the United States, that is, unilateralist bully, rules, and supply chains."."
The United States regrets that Sino -US steel tariff disputes have been included in the World Trade agenda and accused Beijing of implementing "illegal unilateral retaliation measures" for the implementation of US export products.Pagan said: "The World Trade Organization as a shield as Chinese non -market policies and behaviors does not meet the interests of anyone."
In the past, the WTO appealed agency for three months to make an appeal application.However, since the end of 2019, the institution has paralyzed the former Trump administration of the United States because of the obstruction of the WTO's appointment of new judges.Trump asked the WTO to carry out major reforms.
Today, Washington appealed through this appealing agency without a judge, which actually made China's demands unable to continue to advance.China had previously requested the United States to provide economic compensation for activities that are regarded as illegal for the dispute resolution.
Li Chenggang said: "China originally hoped that the United States would show its due restraint. Do not appeal every expert report that is not conducive to the United States to the shell mechanism made in the United States."
When Pagan was interviewed by Reuters on the eve of the meeting, it diluted China ’s more severely criticized Washington at the World Trade Conference.She said, "No matter what you call us ... we continue to negotiate with China."
