GENEVA - The United States said on Friday a World Trade Organization ruling on national security was “seriously flawed”, a warning not to use it as a precedent to judge U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported steel and cars.
The ruling earlier this month clarified the limits of “national security” as a defense for breaking WTO rules against unjustified tariff barriers to trade. A U.S. diplomat told the meeting that the ruling was “unpersuasive” and “problematic for systemic reasons”, according to an official who attended the meeting.
Diplomats from the European Union, Canada, China, Turkey, Australia and Mexico welcomed the ruling and the burden that the panel had imposed on any WTO members making national security claims.
