As a former official working on trade and innovation policy, I'm excited that Coupang is engaged in this important dialogue in our country now.

[Coupang Public Policy @CoupangPolicy]

Along with other leading organizations, we were pleased to support the 2025 Washington International Trade Conference to engage in timely discussions on U.S. trade policy – including efforts to accelerate market access for American technology companies like @CoupangInc – which has enormous implications for our nation’s innovation, leadership, and economic security. Many thanks to @SenatorTimScott, who shared his insights on these important issues.

As a U.S. Fortune 200 company, Coupang drives the sale of billions of dollars of American goods in the Indo-Pacific region. This fuels economic growth and creates jobs here at home.

We’re excited to continue to participate in important policy dialogues, including through @WITA_DC and other partners, to promote a strong and connected economy.

Proud to work for an American company driving U.S. exports to an important and fast-growing region.

[Coupang Public Policy @CoupangPolicy]

Our CEO Bom Kim was honored to attend President Trump’s swearing-in and inauguration at the U.S. Capitol building, several balls and dinners organized by the Trump-Vance Inauguration Committee, and other events with Administration and Congressional leaders. Bom had productive conversations about Coupang’s role in driving U.S. exports and offered to work with these leaders to strengthen U.S.-Indo Pacific economic and security ties.

Thank you to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick, USTR nominee Jamieson Greer, and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, among others, for such important dialogue.

As an American Fortune 200 retail and tech services company, @CoupangInc helps U.S. companies sell billions of dollars of consumer goods and agricultural products to our customers in South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and beyond. Together, we can help grow American SMEs, larger brands, and producers who are seeking out new markets.
