On a brief visit to Guyana, US Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai yesterday said that Wash-ington’s approach to trade policy was to put workers at the centre of discussions.
In an exclusive interview with Stabroek News at the US Embassy, Tai had been asked about the US’s responsibility in relation to the conduct here of American companies such as ExxonMobil and Hess.
She responded by detailing the Biden-Harris administration’s approach to trade policy. “At the beginning of this administration, President Biden and Vice President Harris gave me two main charges. The first was to actively engage with all partners and reassure them that America is back. The second was to introduce a new approach to trade policy,” she explained.
