May 3, 2013
Senior Fellow Kimberley Ann Elliott discusses the World Trade Organization's regulations on US cotton subsidies on NPR radio show "Planet Money".
Desrciption of the show:
On today's show, we meet a Brazilian who took on the world's largest superpower; a Texas cotton farmer who's tired of hearing the Brazilians complain; and a guy named Renato — a.k.a. Retaliation Master.
And we hear why U.S. taxpayers are paying Brazilian cotton growers nearly $150 million a year.
