DelBene Joins Speaker Pelosi Delegation to Asia
Washington, D.C.,
July 31, 2022
Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) is joining a delegation to Asia with Speaker Pelosi and other members of Congress. “I’m honored to join Speaker Pelosi and represent Washington state on this delegation. Asia is a critically important region to America’s economic and national security interests. It is also vital to Washington state’s economy where roughly 40 percent of jobs are tied to international trade. American leadership in this growing part of the world is vital to our businesses, workers, and consumers, where over half of all global economic growth is expected in the next 30 years. “As Vice Chair of the Ways and Means Committee, which shapes trade policy in the House of Representatives, I look forward to helping strengthen existing relationships with our allies and trading partners, open new markets for American companies, and level the playing field for American workers. Forging more resilient and reliable supply chains with trusted partners in Asia is a top priority for me so we can lower costs for consumers and manufacturers here at home.” |
