There is growing opposition to the steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump in March.
India, the world's 10th largest steel exporter by value, is considering countermeasures, including the possibility of challenging US actions in the World Trade Organization. Meanwhile, Thailand has asked Washington to exempt it from tariffs, while the Russian company is considering the case in court - in the United States.
Meanwhile, some of the US's trading partners feel even more sacrificed by not being included in the list of countries exempted from tariffs.
After the US announced it would impose a 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminum, the decision was repeatedly harshly criticized as contrary to WTO rules, but Washington did not stop.
“We are within our purview and will defend India's commercial interests, including through WTO provisions,” said Suresh Prabhu, India's Minister of Trade and Industry, in a recent interview with the Nikkei Asia Review.
