Wolfowitz emphasized that rich countries pay out a total of 280 billion dollars in subsidies to their farmers each year. But the real damage is done to farmers in poor countries who are denied markets to sell their goods. It is their children who go hungry, who are deprived of clean water, medicines, and the most basic necessities of life. 2016-08-15T18:27:24Z 2016-08-15T18:27:24Z 2005-12-07 Speech http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/02/25887362/remarks-trade-missing-link-opportunity-national-press-club-washington-dc-wolfowitz-paul-president http://hdl.handle.net/10986/24886 English en_US Remarks at National Press Club, Washington D.C., December 7, 2005; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Speech
