The Korea Southeast-U.S. Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the Korean embassy for a Sept. 4 summit examining the impact of the Korea-US free trade agreement two years after its implementation.
Speakers are to include Bryant Trick, deputy assistant U.S. Trade Representative, Ghee-whan Kim, economic affairs minister from the Korean embassy in Washington, as well as representatives from the Alabama Department of Commerce and the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
Mr. Trick has been the deputy assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Non-Tariff Market Access issues since May 2014, where he coordinates U.S. trade policy to address non-tariff barriers to trade in industrial goods in bilateral and multilateral venues, including free trade agreement negotiations such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) and regional forums such as APEC.
From 2008-2014, he was the deputy assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Korea, developing and implementing U.S. trade policy toward the U.S.’s sixth-largest trading partner.
In addition to working on issues related to the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement, he was responsible for negotiating resolutions to bilateral trade issues and for seeking ways to enhance U.S.-Korea cooperation on global trade issues.
The conversation will be moderated by June Towery, attorney with Nelson Mullins LLP.
