Assistant Secretary Orr had the honor to meet with President @nayibbukele. As @SecRubio says, security is a precondition of prosperity. President Bukele has delivered law and order, and now he is making El Salvador a high-tech hub and one of the best investment climates in the region. A/S Orr was pleased to bring a delegation of U.S. government agencies and top venture capital firms to expand the U.S.’s economic partnership with El Salvador.

Assistant Secretary Caleb Orr will be in El Salvador and Honduras next week leading private sector and interagency partners from @CommerceGov, @DFCGov, @EXIMBankUS, and others to explore opportunities in energy, digital, transport infrastructure, and high-tech supply chains.

As @POTUS's National Security Strategy lays out, expanding U.S. commercial presence in Central America and investing in critical infrastructure are a core part of our foreign policy. The region is a strategic theater for near-shoring complementary industries and facilitating interoceanic trade in our hemisphere. El Salvador and Honduras are key partners for this effort and present growing markets for American businesses.

Commercial diplomacy in action. Strategic investments. Shared prosperity.

El Salvador is a critical partner of the United States in the Western Hemisphere. President Bukele’s law-and-order miracle has not only brought freedom and safety for the Salvadoran people, it’s creating one of the best investment climates in the entire region. Our foreign policy interest is for U.S. businesses to participate in and help power El Salvador’s renaissance.

Yesterday, Assistant Secretary Orr spoke to a group of over 75 American firms considering investments in El Salvador that will bring prosperity to both our countries.

"The Trump administration has inked 27 critical mineral deals with allied countries, a pointed message ahead of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping next month, a State Department official said Thursday.

Caleb Orr, the assistant secretary of State for economic, energy and business affairs, told the U.S. Export-Import Bank annual conference in Washington that the agreements have been hammered out since the administration hosted 55 countries in February at “the largest ministerial in the history of the State Department.”

“Emerging out of that ministerial, the State Department has now signed 27 bilateral critical minerals agreements that signed countries up for partnership with the United States across the entire value chain — everything ranging from mining to processing and refining, to financing of key projects, stockpiling, and even regulatory and permitting reform to fast track key projects between the United States and these countries,” Orr said." https://t.co/xS8UBGrnMu

Assistant Secretary Orr moderated a panel on “Pro-Business Reforms to Catalyze Investment" at the @NYSE during the launch of @USUN’s Trade Over Aid Initiative.

A/S Orr: “Strengthening property rights and ensuring the sanctity of contract are the basic building blocks of economic prosperity.  We promote them not because they are magic, self-regulating, or represent the supposed triumph of ‘neoliberalism’ or anything like that. We promote them because they are what civilized nations do.”

[State Department Economic Affairs @EconAtState]

Assistant Secretary Orr and Bolivian Mining Minister Calderon @minmineriabo signed a Critical Minerals Memorandum of Understanding in Washington and discussed critical minerals cooperation. The United States is committed to working with Bolivia under the leadership of President Paz to bring investment that drives prosperity in both the U.S. and Bolivia and secures critical mineral supply chains.

On Tuesday, @StateDept joined @CSIS and industry leaders to discuss securing and diversifying critical minerals supply chains. Under @POTUS,  the 🇺🇸 is working with  partners to support economic security, drive investment, and ensure long-term stability.

[Department of State @StateDept]

“These frameworks are designed to create alternative sources of supply and to protect every single stage of production … from non-market disruption. They will provide platforms for coordinating policies that ensure all of our citizens can enjoy abundant and affordable access to these critical minerals.”
