The trade dispute between America and Europe has been a war of words so far with tariffs threatened but not imposed. That will now change. The WTO that polices world trade has ruled that a tax break given to America exports, like Boeing and Microsoft gives them an illegal unfair advantage.
The EU's trade commissioner, Pascale Lamy, has now told American legislators on a visit to Washington that the tariffs will be imposed on Monday. An extra five percent tax will be put on some American exports. With the rate rising the longer Congress and the Senate refuse to change the law. The EU decision gives America lawmakers a dilemma.
