Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

USTR Says US No Longer Breaking WTO Rules for Boeing
May 7, 2020 by Mara Lee|Tariffs and Trade Negotiations

The United States notified the World Trade Organization that it has fully complied with the WTO's findings in the Boeing subsidies dispute, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said May 6. The European Union and U.S. have been battling for 15 years over whose subsidies to their aircraft manufacturers distort trade. The WTO has said that both sides were in the wrong, and the U.S. currently has Section 301 tariffs on about $7.5 billion worth of European aircraft, food, apparel, linens, tools, wine and spirits in a WTO-sanctioned retaliation for past Airbus subsidies.

May 4, 2020 |White House

During a Fox News town hall held at the Lincoln Memorial May 3, President Donald Trump was asked if he would hike tariffs on Chinese goods as a punishment for its role in the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. “Well, it's the ultimate punishment, I will tell you that,” Trump said. He said he didn't want to say “because, you know, we're all playing a very complicated game of chess or poker. Name whatever you want to name, but it's not checkers -- that, I can tell you. We have a very complicated game going.”
