“The WTO panel’s report, which was released today, concludes that the U.S. tariff on steel and aluminium was in breach of the WTO rules,” the Norwegian ministry said in a statement.
In March 2018, then-U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memorandum to impose the tariffs, later exempting some allies, while Norway, a major aluminium producer, was among those that were hit.
