The Export Council has served as the nation’s principal advisory committee on international trade where members discussed issues impacting American exporters, workers, and our nation’s economy. Chairman Reichert was first appointed as a member of the President’s Export Council in 2010. Today, Chairman Reichert thanked the entire council and discussed the need to find a path forward for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. “It has been an honor and a privilege to sit at the same table as the President and members of his cabinet as well as some of our country’s greatest innovators and individuals who are committed to growing American jobs,” said Chairman Reichert. “During our time together, we have seen successes that have improved the lives of everyday Americans, better enabled our exporters to compete on the world stage, and given our farmers, workers and businesses new opportunities. To name a few successes, we passed free trade agreements with Panama, Colombia, and Korea, fought for the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, and moved Trade Promotion Authority and Trade Adjustment Assistance through Congress.” “But our work is not done. We must ensure the Export-Import Bank is fully functioning and we must continue to set the record straight on the benefits of strong free trade agreements (FTAs). At the same time, the Administration must pursue solutions that move FTAs with strong potential – like the Trans-Pacific Partnership – across the finish line.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
