US still committed to global trade deal: Bush
Posted on: Wednesday, 21 June 2006, 08:16 CDT
VIENNA (Reuters) - The United States remains committed to a successful global trade round at the World Trade Organization, President George W. Bush said on Wednesday after discussing U.S. differences with Europe over the negotiations.
"The point is we are committed to a successful round and it is going to take hard work," Bush told a news conference after meeting European leaders.
The United States and the European Union are at loggerheads over who needs to make the next move on agriculture in order to unlock stalled negotiations for a global trade deal at the World Trade Organization.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, speaking at the same news conference, said he was convinced the round could be concluded successfully.
