WTO Says U.S. Tariffs On China Don't Align With Its Trade Rules

The video discusses US tariffs on over $200 billion of Chinese goods, which China claims violate WTO rules. A WTO panel agreed, stating the US unfairly targeted China. The US argues the tariffs are necessary due to China's intellectual property theft. The ruling affects $234 billion of US tariffs, but the WTO's appellate system is currently non-functional, limiting the ruling's impact. The US can appeal, but it's unlikely to succeed. China may seek to impose tariffs on the US if no changes occur.
