The G20 Gives up on Doha

For now, at least.  From Reuters:

World leaders dropped a commitment on Saturday to complete the troubled Doha trade round this year and vowed to push forward on bilateral and regional trade talks until a global deal could be done.

Reuters then sums up the problems nicely:

But the Doha round has been dogged by differences among trade powers who want more access to one another's markets but have struggled to lower their own trade barriers.
