U.S. and Russia Close to WTO Deal

I caught this report today on RFE/RL's website:

Sean Spicer, a spokesman for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, today said all remaining issues in a U.S.-Russian bilateral trade deal are nearly resolved.

This would put Russia one giant step closer to entering the WTO. This would be good for everyone because it will help open Russia's economy, which has been subject to government interference in some very public and high profile cases over the past several years.
