U.S. rejects sanctions sought by China in tariffs case, going to arbitration: trade official

GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States rejected China's request on Monday for $2.4 billion in compensatory sanctions for alleged U.S. failure to comply with a World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling, sending it to arbitration, Geneva trade official said.

WTO appeals judges said in July the United States did not fully comply with a WTO ruling about tariffs it put on Chinese solar panels, wind towers, and steel cylinders. They said Beijing could impose retaliatory sanctions if Washington did not remove the tariffs.

Washington has challenged the ruling and at WTO's Dispute Settlement Body on Monday it objected to the $2.4 billion sought, sending the matter to WTO arbitration to decide on the amount, the trade official said. The case dates to the Obama era but highlights continuing White House complaints about the WTO.

You mean McCains boys Baghadi Inc?
You don't give in to COMMUNISTs unless you are getting what you want. You sir sound like a spineless Democrat ready to cave in at a WIMPERS notice!!!
You may have a point. Trump caves in to Putin all the time, so, by your logic, he must be getting what he wants: Russian oligarch financing, hotel permits in Moscow and St. Petersburg, prostitutes peeing on an "Obama slept here" bed...maybe even a teen beauty pageant. Better a spineless Democrat than a spineless Traitor. Though let's give Trump credit where credit is due: he may be spineless, but you can see those bone spurs comin' from a mile away.
Nothing really new here. All seemed to have already been in place and for the farmers certainly not good news as exports will only go back to pre-tariff levels. The great negociator is failing misserably. Vote him out for failure to achieve any of his big campaign promises.
