The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, in conjunction with U.S. commodity groups, has begun to scrutinize domestic agriculture subsidies provided by countries such as China and India, while also exploring options for remedial action through the WTO. USTR Chief Agricultural Negotiator Darci Vetter was quoted by Inside US Trade as expressing particular dissatisfaction with the amount of wheat and rice subsidies being provided to producers in the two aforementioned countries, and saying specifically that the U.S. is “willing to use all the tools at our disposal” to counteract these subsidies. Domestic producers have been exerting pressure on the Obama administration to pursue remedial measure through the WTO or raise the issue during bilateral negotiations.
美国贸易代表办公室，连同美国消费品组织，已经开始了针对中国和印度的国内农业补贴的调查。同时，他们也在考虑通过WTO进行救济。Inside US Trade引用美国贸易代表办公室首席农业谈判代表Darci Vetter的发言表达了对中、印两国小麦和大米补贴数量的不满，并特别称：美国“将非常乐意使用一切手段”反制上述补贴。美国国内生产者也已向奥巴马政府施压，要求通过WTO采取救济措施或在双边谈判中提出该议题。
