Robert Lighthizer says the panel report from the WTO, which rejects the bulk of the U.S. complaint, unfairly protects Canada from American retaliation against what he calls "massive" lumber subsidies north of the border.
The latest report stems from Canada taking issue with U.S. efforts to impose duties on softwood exports in 2017, although the cross-border dispute over lumber has been raging between the two countries for nearly 40 years. As a result, the U.S. argues that imports of Canadian lumber are eligible for countervailing duties, according to American trade law.
"The panel's findings would prevent the United States from taking legitimate action in response to Canada's pervasive subsidies for its softwood lumber industry."
I am not surprised...that administration lives in it's own alternate reality. 🤦♀️🙄
The US always rejects every WTO decision that goes against them even thou they are apart of the org for years. The US cheats, ignores, breaks and circumvents trade laws and cries poor me when caught.
Lighthizer can go F.... himself
Ignore these clowns and try again when a sane administration is in place
