U.S. urges others to match its WTO concessions
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House insisted on Thursday that the United States had already made concessions in world trade talks and urged other countries to do so as well.
"We do think that it's important to get a deal," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said when asked about India's insistence it had nothing new to offer in the Doha round of trade negotiations now facing a crunch point in Geneva.
"We've been working hard towards it," she told reporters after President George W. Bush spoke by phone to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "We just made concessions ourselves on Tuesday of this week, and we would like other countries to do so as well. It's going to take them moving forward as well as us."
