Brazil says useless to continue G4 trade talks

POTSDAM, Germany, June 21 (Reuters) Critical trade talks between the United States, European Union, India and Brazil were cut short on Thursday, Brazilian Foreign Affairs Minister Celso Amorim said.

''Potsdam, once again, was not very successful,'' he said in a news conference with Indian Trade Minister Kamal Nath.

Differences over agricultural trade, including the size of cuts on trade-distorting farm subsidies, caused the breakdown, Amorim said.
