Estimated WTO retaliation limits of US trading partners from Trump's tariffs 2018

Estimated WTO retaliation limits should Trump impose tariffs on aluminum and steel imports, as of March 2018, by trading partner (Figures expressed in billions of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified)

The data displays the estimated value of the retaliation limits permitted by the World Trade Organization for major trading partners of the U.S. should a case be brought against the U.S. as a result of President Trump's proposed tariff on steel and aluminum imports, as of March 2018. The retaliation limit is based on the estimated export losses due to Trump's trade tariffs. Should such a case be successful these figures show the retaliation capacity of each country as they could then impose tariffs against the U.S. on other products to the prescribed value without breaking World Trade Organization regulations.
