Negroponte

"John Negroponte was defending ongoing subsidies on US cotton growers during a visit to Burkina Faso, in west Africa.

He defended his government's refusal to withdraw subsidies.

"We have clearly indicated that we are ready to reduce our farms subsidies on the condition that our European Union partners can equally make the same gesture so we can work together in this direction," he said, according to Reuters news agency."
