The U.S. will address its implementation process for ending payments to companies affected by antidumping; its antidumping and countervailing duties on Korean washing machines and certain hot-rolled steel products from Japan; and its AD duties involving products from China.
China will ask for a panel to judge whether it has met its obligations to remedy wheat and rice farming support. The U.S. has said China has not, and has asked for the right to raise tariffs in response.
