You say that like US car manufacturers would last a week without government subsidies.

    One country subsidizing an industry while imposing tarrifs on another country for subsizing that same industry is literally an actionble dispute in the WTO so it is very much an actual rebuttal.

    Try defending a WTO subsidies dispute with "Whataboutism!" And see how that goes.
