- Description
Text reads 'News: Russia's imminent entry to the World Trade Organisation has Obama moving to lift cold war trade restrictions.' The cartoon shows American President Barack Obama as the ringmaster in a circus welcoming the great Russian bear to the WTO. The bear is juggling barrels of oil and wads of banknotes and rolls on a monocycle out of its cage which is labelled 'Trade Restrictions'. Context: Russia is the latest major economy to join the World Trade Organization. The country applied in 1993, to join the former body of the WTO, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, (GATT). Formal negotiations began in 1995. In 2006, Russia reached preliminary agreements with the EU and the US over WTO accession. In 2010, Russia gained approval from the EU and US for its entry into the WTO after reaching a deal with Georgia following the 2008 war. Georgia vowed to block Russia's WTO entry, unless Russia lifted its sanctions against her. [CNTV Dec 17 2011]
