“The United States is similarly disappointed that Members were not able to reach consensus at MC13 on agriculture, including with respect to export restrictions of food destined for least-developed country Members (LDCs). This commitment would have been a valuable deliverable for food-insecure LDCs. Nonetheless, the United States will continue to engage with other Members to achieve meaningful outcomes on these important issues.”
