Brazil Claims WTO Win Over US

"Brazil claims once again to have largely defeated the United States in a ruling," said US Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns. "They have been emboldened by a declaration that they have a right to retaliate against the United States," he added. A WTO panel will hand down a decision in the case, which already has cost US cotton farmers the a major subsidy program. Brazil, however, believes the US has not yet done enough to comply with the WTO ruling.
