WTO: US violated trade rules with tariffs on China


BEIJING (China Daily/Agencies): The World Trade Organization (WTO) undercut the main justification for US President Donald Trump’s trade war against China, saying that American tariffs on Chinese goods violate international rules.

A panel of three WTO trade experts on Tuesday (Sept 15) said the US broke international rules when it imposed tariffs on Chinese goods in 2018. Washington has imposed levies on more than US$550 billion in Chinese exports.
