Pittsburgh — Russia has submitted a formal request for dispute consultations with the World Trade Organization regarding the US' Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum, the WTO said Monday.
Joining a growing list of countries seeking consultations over the tariffs, Russia argues US duties of 25% on steel imports and 10% on aluminum imports are inconsistent with provisions of the WTO's General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade and with the WTO's agreement on safeguards.
Canada, Mexico, the EU, China, India and Norway previously filed requests with the WTO on similar grounds.
Russia has been subject to the US tariffs on steel and aluminum since they took effect March 23.
