US adds India to steel tariff dispute at WTO

GENEVA: The United States has complained at the World Trade Organization about Indian tariffs imposed in response to US steel and aluminium tariffs last year, a WTO filing showed on Thursday.

The dispute follows similar complaints against

China, the European Union and others who retaliated in the same way, saying the
US tariffs were essentially “safeguard” measures that should be accompanied
with a balancing cut in trade barriers on other goods. The United States says
they are not safeguards.
