United States Trade Representative Michael Froman, Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced the World Trade Organization found in favor of the US in a case over China's imposition of higher duties on US poultry "broiler products".

A WTO dispute settlement panel found China violated numerous WTO obligations including imposing anti-dumping (AD) duties and countervailing duties (CVD) on chicken imports from the US.
