GENEVA (Reuters) – The U.S. mission told China and Canada it was ready to confer with its officials in Geneva after those two countries filed trade disputes in response to new tariffs, World Trade Organization documents showed on Tuesday.
Canada requested consultations – the first step in a WTO trade dispute – earlier this month in response to “unjustified tariffs” imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this month.
China launched a dispute after Trump tariffs on Chinese goods in February.
