GENEVA (Reuters) - The European Union argued on Monday for the withdrawal of tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on metal imports in one of the most high-profile and potentially explosive cases to come to the World Trade Organization (WTO).Trump set duties in 2018 of 25% on incoming steel and 10% on aluminium under a 1962 U.S. law that allows the president to restrict imports on grounds of national security.The measures spurred nine complaints to the WTO from steel-exporting countries..
