During their meeting, Rep. Sykes and Ambassador Bintner-Bakshian discussed the cultural ties between Ohio and Luxembourg, the significance of major manufacturers like Goodyear Tire Co. in Luxembourg and Akron, and opportunities to strengthen the ongoing relationship between Ohio\u2019s 13th Congressional District and Luxembourg.\n\n\u201cI was glad to welcome Ambassador Bintner-Bakshian to Ohio\u2019s 13th Congressional District,\u201d said Rep. Sykes. \u201cLuxembourg and Northeast Ohio are uniquely connected through a rich history of shared cultural values and economic endeavors. I look forward to continuing to strengthen this mutually beneficial relationship and advance opportunities that will improve the lives of people in both Northeast Ohio and Luxembourg.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt was a true honor to be so warmly welcomed by Representative Sykes. Luxembourg has had long and strong historical ties with Ohio, especially with Representative Sykes\u2019 district: Goodyear was the first American company that set up a production facility in Luxembourg. It has been exciting to discover Akron\u2019s dynamic economic environment and we feel a strong connection given our locations at the center of our respective regions. I appreciated my exchange with Representative Sykes on the importance of the US and Luxembourg engagement as NATO allies, in particular in our joint support to Ukraine,\u201d said Ambassador Bintner-Bakshian.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sykes.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-sykes-hosts-luxembourg-ambassador-bintner-bakshian-during-official-visit"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8067782036960125, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
