Trade Representative <a gi-track='captionPersonalityLinkClicked' href=/galleries/search?phrase=Rob+Portman&family=editorial&specificpeople=226973 ng-click='$event.stopPropagation()'>Rob Portman</a> answers media questions at a press conference, 20 October 2005 in Geneva, about negotiations of the world trade organisation (WTO) which are currently taking place here. Portman urged the European Union to do more to break the deadlock in World Trade Organisation talks on tearing down barriers to global commerce. Washington has offered to cut subsidies and is pushing the EU to go further on import duties. 'Agriculture is the key to breaking the deadlock, and moving the entire negotiation forward,' said Portman.
