At #B20USA, CEO of @UPS, @CarolBTome discussed what it takes to unlock faster, more durable growth and the investment, energy, and supply chains that power it.
“The patterns of growth are changing. Our customers are changing where they manufacture, where they source, and where they sell,” Tomé said.
Vice Chairman at @IBM, @Gary_D_Cohn and former director of the U.S. National Economic Council, talked to @POLITICO Playbook Co-Author @DashaBurns about the recent U.S. elections, with Cohn disagreeing that socialism could replace free enterprise, saying socialism “is not fundamental to how this country works.”
At #B20USA, Maryland Governor @GovWesMoore and Oklahoma Governor @GovStitt shared how states win foreign investment and how the free enterprise system can be a source of growth and innovation in states and local communities.
“I think that capitalism has been the engine that has been able to drive both innovation and wealth creation,” Moore said.
In a #B20USA panel moderated by @MorganLBrennan, anchor of @CNBCMorningCall, Executive Chairman of @DowNewsroom, @JimFitterling discussed the recent historic approval by federal regulators of the ability of small modular reactors at a Dow site in Texas. Fitterling called the news a breakthrough.

At #B20USA, White House Office of Public Liaison Director Jim Goyer underscored the private sector’s critical role in driving broad-based economic growth:
“It is not the state that should be the sole author of capital or the ultimate driver of decisions. It’s the individuals, provided with liberty, that have the opportunity to build, innovate, run businesses and create jobs, and ultimately lead more meaningful lives.”
#B20USA Sherpa @RepKevinBrady sat down with Suzanne Clark to telegraph what policies will help countries reach their full potential for growth and emphasize that the business community stands ready to work with government.
“We just need government to remove some of the barriers that are holding us back there, and we want to be partners to do that," he said.
U.S. Chamber President & CEO and B20 Co-Chair Suzanne Clark opened Day 2 programming of #B20USA by calling on global business leaders to raise their ambitions and work with governments to create a future where young people have the opportunity to succeed:
"As we look to give hope to the next generation, growth is an imperative. And it is a choice."
