Schwab Says Farm Bill Differs from U.S.'s WTO Offer

U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab talks with Bloomberg's Erik Schatzker from the World Economic Forum in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, about the outlook for the Doha round of trade talks at the World Trade Organization and the newly-approved U.S. farm bill. The Senate on May 15 gave final congressional approval to a five-year, $289 billion farm bill that boosts food aid while keeping farm subsidies largely intact, following the House in a passing the measure with enough support to override a threatened presidential veto.
