Protesters scuffled with police, and the U.S. and the E.U. exchanged barbs over whose policies are most in need of reform. Delegates from some African countries say there is one change they like to see right away. They want the U. S. to stop paying its farmers to grow cotton. Because of the subsidies, the Africans are the ones in trouble. U.S. over-production has driven down global price by nearly 20%, according to the World Bank, to the point where even the Africans can't make money. U.S. trade representative Robert Zoellick says the U.S. hopes to eventually eliminate the subsidies, but he says cotton has to be part of a broader agricultural deal.

Negotiations would resume sometime after tomorrow's meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna. Iran's nuclear program will also be on the agenda at the meeting. Under heavy U. S. pressure in September, the IAEA took a step towards referring the matter to the UN Security Council, which has the power to impose economic sanctions.
