Date: 18/01/01 As the incoming US Trade Representative Bob Zoellick prepares to wrestle with the intricacies of international trade policy this week, he should look no further for advice than to one of the people responsible for his appointment. Among the members of George W. Bush's advisory team for the USTR post was none other than Jesse Ventura, governor of Minnesota - but more famous for his former role as a star attraction in the World Wrestling Federation, where he was known as Jesse 'The Body' Ventura. The WWF is more about show business than sport, but Ventura's advice could still come in handy when Zoellick tries to get Pascal Lamy and DG trade chief Peter Carl in a double hammer-lock. |
