trade disputes
Import export disagreements
Trade disputes are conflicts between countries or trading partners over commercial policies, tariffs, or market access.
They typically involve accusations of unfair practices—dumping goods below cost, subsidizing industries, or restricting imports.
Trade disputes may escalate through retaliatory tariffs or be resolved through negotiation and international bodies like the World Trade Organization: The trade dispute between the two nations threatened global supply chains.
