Excerpt:Canada launched a complaint with the World Trade Organization on Thursday over US President Donald Trump’s across-the-board imposition of 25-percent tariffs on steel and aluminium imports.
The steep levies, which came into force on Wednesday, contained no exemptions despite countries’ efforts to avert them.
“Canada has requested WTO dispute consultations with the United States regarding the imposition by the United States of import duties on certain steel and aluminium products from Canada,” the WTO said.
“Canada claims that the measures, which terminate Canada’s exemption from additional duties on certain steel and aluminium products and increase duties on aluminium articles, and which took effect on March 12, are inconsistent with US obligations,” the global trade body said.
