USTR flags India’s ethanol ban, lists 10 ‘unfair’ trade practices

The United States Trade Representative (USTR), early Tuesday, flagged India’s ban on US ethanol imports as one of several “unfair trade practices” affecting American exporters, as trade tensions between Washington and key partners continue to rise. The USTR has identified 10 major trade policies it says are detrimental to US exporters. Apart from India’s ethanol restrictions, the list includes China’s dominance in the low-cost American flag market - where over 100,000 Chinese-made flags are sold each month via a single e-commerce platform - resulting in $2 million in losses and domestic job cuts.
