“Reuters” quoted WTO documents as reporting that the EU will officially receive WTO approval next week,BoeingThe company receives subsidies from the US government and imposes tariffs on 4 billion US dollars of US goods. According to WTO rules, the EU must officially notify the dispute settlement body of its plans to implement tariffs. The next meeting of the agency will be held on October 26. However, the report said that the EU will first consult 27 member states on imposing tariffs on US goods, which means the EU will not immediately impose retaliatory tariffs.

US President Trump has indicated that he will fight back against the EU's retaliatory measures. (fc/w)
