The
World Trade Organisation (WTO) has found the United States violated global
trade rules when it imposed tariffs on products from China and India.
In
response to a 2012 complaint, the WTO said the US improperly imposed tariffs on
Chinese steel and solar panels.
In a
separate ruling, it said the US must change the way it imposes tariffs on India
steel products.
The
US is embroiled in several
trade spats with China and India.
Complaints
"China
urges the United States to respect the WTO rulings and correct its wrongdoings
of abusively using trade remedy measures, and to ensure an environment of fair
competition for Chinese enterprises," said China's foreign trade ministry
in a statement.
However,
the WTO did not agree with all of the complaints filed by India and China.
The
US - which has argued it imposed the tariffs to combat artificially low prices
on products from India and China's state-subsidised industries - has the right
to appeal the ruling.
