WTO rules against US in trade spat with China and India
The WTO said the US violated global trade rules when it imposed tariffs on products like solar panels
The
World Trade Organisation (WTO) has found the United States violated
global trade rules when it imposed tariffs on products from China and
India.
In a separate ruling, it said the US must change the way it imposes tariffs on India steel products.
The US is embroiled in several trade spats with China and India.
Complaints
"China urges the United States to respect the WTO rulings and
correct its wrongdoings of abusively using trade remedy measures, and to
ensure an environment of fair competition for Chinese enterprises,"
said China's foreign trade ministry in a statement.
However, the WTO did not agree with all of the complaints filed by India and China.
The US - which has argued it imposed the tariffs to combat artificially low prices on products from India and China's state-subsidised industries - has the right to appeal the ruling.
