US threatening Russia with economic retaliation: report

[AGENDA21]

MOSCOW, APRIL 11: Fearful of Russia helping Iran build a nuclear bomb and the Kremlin reverting to authoritarianism, the US is threatening Mosow with economic retaliation, a media report said on Tuesday.

“The United States is the last major country to put up obstacles to Russian entry to the WTO.

“On the surface, the outstanding WTO issues are purely economic - intellectual property rights, for instance, or keeping Russian markets open to American poultry exports, an issue that has recently arisen.But just beneath the surface, the politics surrounding Russia’s quest to join the global trade organisation is clearly visible,” the ‘Moscow Times’ daily said.

Russia has resolved trade disputes with many countries, but has yet to iron out its differences with Washington, a prerequisite for admission to the 149-member WTO.
