At a meeting of the WTO's Council for Trade in Goods today, China proposed a discussion of the April 2 "reciprocal tariffs" announced by the Trump administration, as well as additional U.S. tariff actions.

In another escalation of the trade war, President Trump has raised tariffs on Chinese imports again, with the current additional tariff rate on covered Chinese imports at 104% as of April 9.

At a Senate Finance Committee hearing today on the U.S. trade policy agenda, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer made clear that the Trump administration would look to enforce the Phase One deal signed during Trump's first term.

The WTO has just posted China's request for consultations on the recent Trump administration "reciprocal tariffs" imposed on most countries, including China.

An official communication from the WTO panel hearing the China - Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights (DS611) dispute indicates that the report will be circulated soon and an appeal is on the way.

A public interest law firm has filed the first lawsuit against the Trump administration's recent tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), targeting the tariffs imposed in February and March on Chinese imports.
