The European Union is set to buy time in its case against China at the World Trade Organization over allegations of economic coercion targeting Lithuania, according to people familiar with the matter.
The EU will likely resume the case this week following a one-year suspension, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. If the bloc doesn’t resume the complaint by the end of this week then it will lapse, a development that could antagonize the incoming Trump administration and some member states.
