Korea Challenges U.S. on Washer Safeguards
Written by Sandy Williams
The U.S. Trade Representative is seeking comments on the World Trade Organization challenge by South Korea to U.S. safeguards imposed on imports of large residential washers in February 2018.
The WTO established a Dispute Settlement Body panel on Sept. 26 following a request by South Korea in August. The European Union, China, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil, Egypt, India, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Norway, Russia and Vietnam have requested to join the proceedings as third parties citing “substantial trade interests.”
