GENEVA - The World Trade Organization formally authorized the United States on Monday to impose tariffs on up to $7.5 billion of imports of EU goods after a decision earlier this month by a WTO arbitrator over subsidies to planemaker Airbus . The WTO’s dispute settlement body, made up of representatives from its 164 members, cleared Washington to take countermeasures against the European Union and Airbus-producing countries Britain, France, Germany and Spain.

The authorization was a formality. It would only have been denied if all WTO members present voted against.

Britain and EU say work remains to be done to reach Brexit dealBrexit talks with the European Union to strike a last-minute deal are getting serious, the British government said, but opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn says it is unlikely he will back an agreement Why I don’t get it. He doesn’t want to leave without a deal but when one is (if it is) presented to him, he still won’t back it. I just get what everyone’s agenda is If BorisJohnson told jeremycorbyn his tie was red corbyn would disagree. The man is insane Have to be a moron to listen to anything Corbyn says. He's as bad as any of our Democrats.
