Greer says no specific timeline set for enforcing US-China Board of Trade

Speaking on the sidelines of the Group of 20 Trade Ministers’ meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Greer said the tariff reductions under the mechanism were “a policy outcome” and that the recommendations would have to go through a legal process before implementation.The US government could put the Board of Trade recommendations out to the public, Greer said, adding that there would then be a “common process” in which the government could go “back and forth” before making a legal determination on whether to adopt them in a tariff action.“We have to stick to our legal processes,” he said.
