The US responded defiantly on Tuesday to a World Trade Organization report criticizing President Donald Trump& #39;s tariffs on China, blasting the organization as "completely inadequate" in holding Beijing accountable.

"The United States must be allowed to defend itself against unfair trade practices & the Trump administration will not let China use the WTO to take advantage of American workers, businesses, farmers, and ranchers," US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said in a statement.

A panel of experts set up by WTO& #39;s Dispute Settlement Body ruled the tariffs on about $250 billion worth of Chinese goods were "inconsistent" with global trade rules, and recommended that the US "bring its measures into conformity with its obligations."
