WASHINGTON, Sept 17: President Barack Obama will launch a trade complaint against China over unfair government backing of its auto industry, a White House official said today.
Obama will announce on Monday that he is initiating a case against China at the World Trade Organization over allegedly illegal subsidies for automobiles and auto parts during a campaign tour of Ohio, the official said.
Ohio relies heavily on the auto industry and is a politically important swing state.
Obama has said Beijing is abusing trade laws by imposing more than 3 billion dollar in duties on US auto exports. (agencies)
