WTO Panels to Form on Safeguard Tariffs on Washers, Solar Panels

The World Trade Organization will establish panels on the legality of U.S. safeguard tariffs applied to both solar panels and residential washers, at the request of South Korea. The Dispute Resolution Body authorized the panels' formation on Sept. 26. China is also pressing a case on U.S. Section 201 tariffs (see 1805170058 and 1802070022).
