Antigua & US Set New Deadlines for Resolving Gambling Feud

Posted by admin

Antigua's top finance official says another deadline has been set with Washington to resolve a feud over Internet gambling after recent talks have fizzled. Antigua accuses the U.S. of crippling its gambling industry by banning Americans from placing online bets with gambling operators, including those in the twin-island country.

Twice this month, World Trade Organization deadlines passed without resolution. The WTO last year backed Antigua's request to target U.S. services, copyrights and trademarks in retaliation for a U.S. online betting ban _ but ruled it could impose only $21 million in annual sanctions. On Monday, Finance Minister Errol Cort said both sides were aiming to achieve resolution by July 11.
