Trade War In The Caribbean: The Antigua-US Gambling Dispute

For more than a decade, the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda has battled the U.S. over its online gambling ban -- a rule Antigua says decimated its economy. In recent years, the World Trade Organization ruled in Antigua's favor, and as retribution, the WTO has now authorized Antigua to violate intellectual property protections on American movies, music and other media. We explore how the case is affecting international trade, gambling and government authority.

I have a degree on International Commerce and I wonder if your panelist are aware that often trade agreements have a clause that said any regulations stated in it will be avoid the constitution. Example NAFTA
Thank you

Hard to follow discussion. The panelists seem to be leading the discussion where they want to go or maybe it's too technically (legal and regulatory points) oriented. Either way, it's hard to understand the big points. Thanks.
