I just spoke on free & fair trade at @McCourtSchool#GUFreeTrade conference on Capitol Hill. 80% of FDIs in the US come from the EU. We create wealth and skilled jobs in the US. Watch my talk with @nmclernon here: https://t.co/NDjEvFHOm3 #EUTrade@cspan
Last panel of the @McCourtSchool Policy Conference!
Lisa Schroeter, Global Director of Trade and Investment Policy for @DowChemical states that trade gives us an opportunity to introduce sound science into production while promoting economic competitiveness #GUFreeTrade
Dale Moore, Head of Policy for American Farm Bureau Federation: trade is something we spend time on in Congress- talking about the importance of agriculture in trade- and out with our producers, letting them know the importance of trade to American agriculture
#GUFreeTrade
Our final panel for the day is about to start- join us in a conversation about free trade and agriculture with experts from the American Farm Bureau Federation, @BeefUSA and @DowChemical#GuFreeTrade
.@EUAmbUS: we will keep a close eye on the implementation of the #TaxReform and its impact on European businesses both here and in the EU. We have some concerns. #GUFreeTrade
.@EUAmbUS says he should be more creative about how we address issues resulting from free trade and globalization such as inequality-- otherwise we'll see disenchantment from the public and a turn towards more isolationist policies
#GuFreeTrade
.@nmclernon is starting this panel with our big question for the day: does trade still matter?
@EUAmbUS says yes, trade is an indispensable part of our economic life today, a driver of prosperity for the EU, US and the world #GuFreeTrade
We are breaking for lunch but we'll be back at 12:45 for a conversation with the @EUAmbUS and @nmclernon on the foreign perspectives on trade
