Explained below.

Explanation:

According to the current rules of the WTO (which is also known as World Trade Organization) and as well as GATT (which is known as The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), the United States effort is been allowed as long as the subsidies (which is also known as government incentive) do not involve a direct payment to the industry.
