The World Trade Organization (WTO) on March 5, 2025, circulated a request from Canada for dispute consultations with the United States concerning new U.S. tariff measures on Canadian goods. Canada contends that the additional U.S. ad valorem duties of 25% on non-energy goods and 10% on energy goods from Canada violate provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 and the WTO's Trade Facilitation Agreement.

On the same day, the WTO also circulated a revised request from China for dispute settlement consultations with the United States. This revision addresses increased U.S. tariff measures on Chinese goods. China added to its original February 4, 2025, request to reflect the rise in U.S. ad valorem duties on all Chinese goods from 10% to 20%. Read the WTO release
