Tai said the WTO resolution issued earlier this month really challenges the integrity of the system, adding, "This is because it goes deep into establishing requirements and parameters for what is or isn't a legitimate national security decision. The organization should not get into the business of second-guessing national security decisions made by governments. It is the responsibility of governments to bring integrity in their decisions regarding national security.” said.
The WTO's dispute resolution panel on December 9 found that the 25% tariffs on global steel imports and 10% import duties on global aluminum imposed under former President Donald Trump violated the agency's rules. The WTO stated that US national security claims were not justified because they were not received in wartime or any other emergency in international relations.
