Trade Policy Agenda Highlights China Enforcement, Aircraft Cases

摘要

The administration's Trade Policy Agenda issued on March 1 pledged the continuation of the challenges now pending in various stages of World Trade Organization dispute settlement, with particular emphasis on China, and held open the possibility of filing new cases against countries that violate their obligations. "The United States will... closely monitor China's compliance with its WTO obligations and will continue to investigate any trade practices that appear to be inconsistent with those obligations," the report said. It said the U.S. will use the "full range of trade tools" to secure market access for food and agricultural exports consistent with science-based sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) standards in Russia and China.
