American business proudly supports our nation抯 diplomats and officials who provide critical assistance that directly enhances the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers, farmers, and service industry workers and companies.
Through their work as front-line advocates for American economic and foreign policy interests, these men and women help create jobs and greater prosperity at home and promote democracy and free market principles around the world.
