Russia is demanding compensation from the United States at the World Trade Organization (WTO) for its decision to impose global tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
The US claims these tariffs are justified under national security concerns and are not subject to WTO rules. However, Russia, China, India, the EU and other major steel exporters argue these are protectionist measures that require compensation.
The US has agreed to negotiate with China but maintains the compensation demands are unjustified
