The Department for International Trade notes with concern the actions taken by China against Lithuanian goods and EU products with Lithuanian content. It also notes the request for consultations that the EU has made at the World Trade Organization (WTO) with respect to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and other WTO agreements on this issue. We stand with all WTO members in rejecting economic coercion.
