Lapse of Key Digital Trade Measure Undermines Economic Growth, Innovation

“This commonsense measure has promoted growth and innovation across the global digital economy for decades, and it is deeply disappointing that WTO members allowed it to lapse. During upcoming discussions in Geneva, we urge all WTO members to make the Moratorium permanent and usher in much-needed certainty for the semiconductor industry, our customers, and the global digital economy. We commend the Trump Administration and partner governments for their efforts in support of this goal and remain ready to work with government leaders to ensure an agreement is reached in short order.”
