Washington state has benefited tremendously from engagement through APEC. With 40 percent of jobs tied to trade, Washington is one of the most trade-dependent states in the country. Greater access to this growing region of the world will greatly benefit all Americans, particularly, American farmers, manufacturers, workers, and small businesses seeking to compete, grow, and hire more workers here at home. Our thoughts are also with all of those in Vietnam that have been impacted by Typhoon Damrey, which struck right before the APEC summit.” This week, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ meetings take place in Vietnam. APEC is a forum for 21 countries bordering the Pacific Ocean to promote trade liberalization and investment between Asia-Pacific countries. The United States is a founding member. To highlight the importance of APEC, Representatives Reichert and Larsen recently launched the bipartisan House APEC Caucus. Both Members also supported legislation to reauthorize the APEC Business Travel Card that was signed into law last week. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
