“When we are grappling with challenges, both domestic and foreign, we are thinking about how to strengthen our democracy. That's about empowering our people to participate in our economy.”
United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai sat down with Ben Rhodes on Pod Save the World to highlight the Biden-Harris Administration’s utilization of trade tools that protect American jobs, defend American workers, and ensure the United States can develop and lead in key industries.
During their conversation, Ambassador Tai discussed the economic competition between the United States and People’s Republic of China, and the importance of a strategic trade agenda, as well as how the Biden-Harris Administration is building a “middle-out, bottom-up” economy that empowers the American middle class. Ambassador Tai also discussed the Biden-Harris Administration’s new vision for globalization, a vision that leads to globalization “that is sustainable, that is brighter, and that doesn’t pit people against other people, governments against governments, [and] middle classes against middle classes.”
