GENEVA: Washington condemned the World Trade Organisation’s verdict on Friday on the punitive US tariffs imposed on national security grounds on steel imports from China and other countries.

Former US president Donald Trump’s administration introduced the tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from China, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey and his successor, Joe Biden, has stuck with them.

“The United States strongly rejects the flawed interpretation and conclusions in the WTO Panel reports released today...,” Adam Hodge, spokesman for the US Trade Representative Katherine Tai, said in a statement.
