US launches WTO challenge against India

US goes after Indian export subsidy programs

  • The USTR will challenge India export subsidy programs under WTO rules
  • Says export subsidies allow Indian exporters to sell good more cheaply to the detriment of US workers and manufacturers

"These export subsidy programs harm American workers by creating an uneven playing field on which they must compete," said Ambassador Lighthizer. "USTR will continue to hold our trading partners accountable by vigorously enforcing U.S. rights under our trade agreements and by promoting fair and reciprocal trade through all available tools, including the WTO."
