Developing nations slam US farm bill at WTO

Geneva: Brazil, India and other developing countries said on Tuesday that the new US farm bill will be an obstacle to global trade talks aimed at lifting millions worldwide out of poverty. A group of 20 developing nations also including China, Mexico and Argentina echoed criticism by WTO chief Pascal Lamy, who last week said the new US farm bill sent a bad signal to the world while talks on a new global trade deal were continuing.
