02:28 PM EDT, 03/13/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Canada has requested dispute consultations with the United States regarding the imposition by the United States of import duties on certain steel and aluminium products from Canada, the World Trade Organization is confirming Thursday.

The request was circulated to WTO members on March 13, a statement says.

It noted Canada claims the measures, which terminate Canada's exemption from additional duties on certain steel and aluminium products and increase duties on aluminium articles, and which took effect on March 12, are inconsistent with US obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994.
