International Trade Commission overturns Trump tariffs on Canadian newsprint

http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/404191-international-trade-commission-overturns-trump-tariffs-on-canadian

The U.S. International Trade Commission voted on Wednesday to overturn tariffs the Trump administration imposed on Canadian newsprint earlier this year.

The five-member body voted unanimously that U.S. newspaper producers are not negatively affected by newsprint imports.

The trade commission said in a statement that it had "determined that a U.S. industry is not materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of uncoated groundwood paper from Canada that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.”

The agency said in an email to The Hill that it would send its formal opinion to the U.S. Commerce Department by Sept. 24.

My impression was that these trade disputes often take years to get ironed out.
