Earlier this month on July 4, the United States had complained at the World Trade Organization about Indian tariffs imposed in response to US steel and aluminium tariffs.

The dispute follows similar complaints against China, the European Union and others who retaliated in the same way, saying the US tariffs were essentially "safeguard" measures that should be accompanied with a balancing cut in trade barriers on other goods.
