Jun 07, 2013

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC –The Antigua and Barbuda government says it is encouraged by talks with United States Vice President Joe Biden about the prospects in the cross border gaming dispute between the two countries. A government statement is quoting Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer as saying that the matter had been raised during Biden’s recent visit to Trinidad and Tobago for talks with Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders. The statement said that Biden and his senior advisor, Jacob Sullivan, met with Prime Minister Spencer, Ambassador Colin Murdoch and Dame Deborah-Mae Lovell, ambassador in Washington, DC, in a side meeting and that it was Spencer who raised the issue of the long-running World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute, urging Biden to use his influence in the Obama Administration to “speedily bring the matter to a fair settlement”.
