U.S. May Be Target in Gambling Dispute

US MAY BE TARGET IN GAMBLING DISPUTE
[SOURCE: Associated Press, AUTHOR: Bradley S. Klapper]
The Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda is seeking compensation from the United States over its restrictions on Internet gambling sites based overseas, and on Tuesday asked other countries to join in as it targets Washington over its failure to comply with global trade rules. Antigua, the smallest country to successfully litigate a case in the WTO's 12-year-history, also threatened to target U.S. trademarks, copyrights and telecommunications companies after the WTO on Tuesday formally adopted a landmark decision reached in March on the gambling restrictions. The gambling dispute is threatening to become one of the most complicated the WTO has ever handled and could soon spark a series of compensation negotiations between the United States and such other trading powers as the European Union.
