As per WTO rules, can the U.S. require cars from Germany to limit the amount of emissions that these cars release into the atmosphere?

What will be an ideal response?


Yes, under current WTO rules, a country can adopt any environmental standard it chooses, as long as it does not discriminate against foreign producers by applying its environmental standards on other countries. In the case of cars, the U.S. can require foreign cars to have a limit on its emissions, provided that the rule applies to all cars, foreign and domestic.
