Leanna Byrne: 印度已正式向世界贸易组织 (WTO) 提起与美国的争端，对华盛顿对汽车征收的全面全球关税提出质疑。去年，印度对美国的汽车出口额达到 28 亿美元。此举加剧了两国之间正在进行的贸易谈判的紧张关系，因为他们正赶在特朗普总统暂停征收新关税的 90 天期限于 7 月到期前达成协议。 Archana Shukla: 我认为印度希望在汽车关税方面获得豁免或优惠待遇，因为汽车零部件是印度对美国公司出口的重要组成部分。他们已向 WTO 提起诉讼，要求与美国进行磋商。这并非印度首次采取此类行动。上个月，他们也曾就铝和钢铁关税问题向 WTO 提出与美国磋商的要求。这些举措可能会给印美之间的贸易谈判带来压力。印度最初表示不会对关税采取针锋相对的措施，但最近立场有所强硬，并威胁要对美国进口商品征收报复性关税。WTO 贸易争端解决需要很长时间，部分原因是由于上诉委员会法官人数不足，争端解决机制在某种程度上已经瘫痪，而美国一直在阻止这些任命。印度一直希望恢复 WTO 的争端解决机制，并呼吁所有成员国为此做出贡献。

India formally challenged the US's global tariffs on cars at the WTO, citing the impact on its $2.8 billion auto exports to the US. This action adds tension to ongoing trade talks and reflects India's hardening stance after initially opting against retaliatory tariffs. The WTO dispute settlement process, however, is slow due to the US blocking of judge appointments.
  • India challenged US tariffs on cars at the WTO
  • India's auto exports to the US totaled $2.8 billion last year
  • WTO dispute settlements are slow due to a lack of judges

From the BBC World Service: India formally takes its dispute with the U.S. to the World Trade Organization, challenging Washington’s global tariffs on cars. Then, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia work to stop Russia's fleet of illegal oil tankers from passing through the Baltic Sea. And later, students at the University of Havana in Cuba boycott classes over a sharp hike in mobile internet fees, and the Nintendo Switch 2 launches worldwide.
