No Agreement Yet

It seems that the US is still dragging its heels on coming to an agreement with the tiny country of Antigua. The US has not arranged settlement of the debt yet, and no matter what the country does, the US blocks them at every turn.

The country has bent over backwards to compromise with the US, but it is unlikely that they will have come to an agreement related to the online gambling damages that have been awarded Antigua. The country’s lead attorney says that they will most likely not be in agreement by Friday.

Their attorney says that the US is unwilling to make any fair offers, and the World Trade Organization is still waiting to see if they will meet the deadline. They are going to have to look toward further legal action in order to make it happen.

The US was found guilty of acting against the free trade compacts by passing its ban of online gambling from outside online casinos – but yet still allows it to happen in the US. Outside countries such as Antigua are fighting for fair treatment under the circumstances – but the US refuses to budge.

The small country had asked for $3.4 billion, but was only awarded $21 million. The US won’t even settle that however.
