Trans-Pacific Partnership: More Than Trade: Featuring the Deputy U.S. Trade Representative

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is about more than reducing tariffs. It opens markets for U.S. goods and services and codifies rule-based trade among the 12 member countries, but just as importantly, it ensures that the U.S. writes the rules for 21st century trade.

Ambassador Froman is the U.S. Trade Representative, a member of the Cabinet, and one of our nation’s chief trade negotiators. David Abney has been the CEO of UPS since 2014 and its chairman since April of this year.
