KINGSTON, Jamaica, Gleaner — The Antigua and Barbuda government says it is seeking support from opposition legislators as it seeks to resolve its long standing gaming dispute with the United States. Finance and Economy Minister Harold Lovell said both sides in Parliament had a stake in the matter as one side brought the matter to the WTO while the other took it to successful conclusion. It has been almost 10 years since the government of Antigua and Barbuda, led by the former administration, decided to bring a complaint at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) against the United States of America for its laws and policies prohibiting Antiguan providers of remote gaming and betting services from offering those services to consumers in the United States, Lovell told legislators.
