In the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and Antigua regarding online gambling, the Caribbean nation is set to reject the Americans’ latest proposal to settle the issue.

Antigua and the United States are at odds because the U.S. will not allow foreign online gambling providers to have access to the U.S. market. Previously, the World Trade Organization sided with Antigua, awarding the island nation compensation because of the United States’ unwillingness to honor trade pacts on the issue.

According to pokerpages.com:

Antigua and Barbuda agreed to hold off on arbitration proceedings at the World Trade Organisation until the end of March, allowing time for the proposal to be considered and a counterproposal made. Antigua did not receive a settlement proposal back from the United States until after the end of March deadline passed.

“Cabinet has deliberated on the matter and decided on a particular course of action.” Dr. Court told the SUN. A statement is expected to be issued from the government of Antigua and Barbuda shortly concerning their decision.

Whole thing here.

With this latest round of international wrangling, the dispute appears to be no closer to a resolution.
