Skyrocketing US subsidies may far exceed WTO limits (Agri-Pulse) 

Agri-Pulse published an article on the WTO and the United States. The article stated that the Trump administration is handing out so much money to farmers that the United States will blow through its spending limit under World Trade Organization rules for 2019 and likely 2020, potentially exposing U.S. farm programs to legal challenges, according to a new analysis. Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber, who also served as the chief U.S. agricultural trade negotiator during the Doha round of WTO negotiations, estimates that the subsidies that count toward the WTO limit could soar above $40 billion for 2020, depending on how much additional coronavirus aid the administration provides to farmers.
