After 30 years of involvement in US and Japan collaborations it it is like a dream to see the new trade agreement approved! Thank you @GovRicketts @BlockCobus and the NE trade mission team for making time to travel to Japan to help make this happen.

@PeteRicketts@gagetaylor Greetings from the sky! Voted for you right before I headed to the airport. Was registered from Kearney event but had a change in travel plans. Good luck!!
Nebraskans, as you recover from the largest wildfire in our state’s history, know your federal delegation stands ready to help. Today, we sent a letter to @POTUS supporting @TeamPillen’s major disaster declaration request to ensure that you have access to the resources you need.
It was great to join @NewsChannelNE's Brandon Aksamit earlier this week to discuss the University of Nebraska's extraordinary economic impact. From the jobs we create to the workforce we educate and the research we produce, NU is helping move Nebraska forward in meaningful ways.
Happy birthday to Emperor Naruhito. I had the opportunity to spend some time with him (then Crown Prince) when I was the first ever Western finalist in NHK’s Seishun Message (Youth Day message) speech competition.
Honored to be the last guest of the year on Trent on the Loos! Kids enjoyed being with Trent and I when he filmed the December 31, 2021 episode as well. View on BEK NEWS website.
I was delighted to be joined by Mike Cassling, chairman of the Aksarben Foundation Board of Governors, on a new “Heart to Heart” podcast episode.
Mike is a proud @UNLincoln alum and a nationally respected business leader. Under his leadership, the Aksarben Foundation continues its long tradition of supporting Nebraska’s prosperity and growth—empowering leaders, advancing workforce development and improving quality of life across our state.
We had a great conversation about the Aksarben Foundation’s recently released workforce development study, its role in shaping Nebraska’s future and how organizations like the Aksarben Foundation and the University of Nebraska can work together to keep our state strong.

Behind the scenes editing of BEK NEWS show Across the Pond lead by Trent Loos. Usually when I get on with Trent it is broadcast live but due to the time difference we pre-recorded the episode. This episode will be focused on the U.S.-Japan Council annual meeting.
This week I was honored to be invited to the United Nations University and hear former (and possibly future) Prime Minister Kishida speak. He has been a great supporter of startups in Japan and has made time for fellow US-Japan Council colleagues when they visit Japan.
10 days left to apply!
The #MedicalDevice#TradeMission to #Japan is organized by US-Japan MedTech Frontiers and provides an opportunity for #MedTech companies to get exposure to #Japanese#strategics. We hope to have the opportunity to review your application.
Today, the NU System named Dr. Neal H. Schnoor as the priority candidate for chancellor of @UNKearney.
Dr. Schnoor’s deep roots in Nebraska and impressive record of strategic leadership make him exceptionally well-suited to serve as UNK’s next chancellor. I look forward to the UNK and Kearney community—and others across the state—getting to know him better during his 30-day vetting period.
