U.S. Mission to OECD

.@UnderSecE Helberg and @SweMFA Foreign Minister Stenergard signed the Pax Silica Declaration today, making Sweden the 11th signatory—and the first EU Member State to join since the initiative launched in December 2025. Sweden’s accession is a statement of strategic clarity, building resilient supply chains for the benefit of both our citizens.

For nearly 100 years, the United States has prohibited the importation of goods made with forced labor. The Trump Administration is taking action to ensure our trading partners follow suit.

In advance of @POTUS' trip to Beijing, @SecScottBessent and I met with Vice Premier He Lifeng of China to discuss areas of mutual interest.     Talks were candid and constructive, and we are on a good path towards the next meeting between President Trump and General Secretary Xi.     In our discussions, we addressed a number of priorities to promote stability in our relationship, including how to manage bilateral trade and improve market access for the United States.

There is a dramatic divergence in European and United States energy policy.   Europe made a political choice to make energy expensive.   We hope those decisions are reversed.

Assistant Secretary Orr joined Secretary of @ENERGY Chris Wright at the IEA Ministerial and conveyed the need to focus on critical minerals investment, faster project development, and protection against market manipulation. These coordinated strategies across governments and industry are essential to our shared goals of energy security and economic growth.

Energy is the infrastructure of the world. @IEA was founded after the Yom Kippur War to ensure the world had enough energy, we need them focused on that mission today, not climate advocacy.

Energy addition expands freedom and radically improves quality of life. President Trump understands that more energy is the answer to many of the world's problems. @IEA was founded to expand energy access, enhance energy security & better lives. Let's refocus on that mission.

CDA Karen Enstrom joined @BusinessatOECD’s Annual Consultation with the @OECD, including the SG @MathiasCormann. We look forward to working closely with them and the United States Council for International Business @USCIB, the U.S. business federation representing American companies at the OECD, to advance #US business interests at the #OECD.

Great meeting with @Visa's Marta Prado & Enrique Benavides on regulatory simplification and digital trade at the OECD.  The U.S. Mission to the OECD is committed to ensuring American business voices are heard and their priorities advanced at the OECD. #DigitalTrade #USOECD

Team USA is looking strong at #MilanoCortina2026! Great to see Italy hosting such a spectacular Winter Games. Go Team USA!📷 #WinterOlympics

The U.S. Council of Economic Advisers’ report Artificial Intelligence and the Great Divergence is a MUST read. It’s one of the clearest signals yet that we are in the midst of a new industrial revolution.  The key driver of this revolution?  Energy. And the United States, under  @POTUS  @realDonaldTrump, is leading the charge 👇 whitehouse.gov/research/2026/…

CDA Enstrom recently met with Executive Director Hanni Rosenbaum and Deputy Executive Director Nicole Primmer of @BusinessatOECD, which represents the voice of business in @OECD policy discussions. We appreciate their work to advocate for business community interests and align private-sector perspectives with member-country policymaking priorities. businessatoecd.org

Good morning from Dublin in the wake of fruitful OECD talks—where the United States pledged $500,000 to promote digital freedom through a series of upcoming international initiatives focused on privacy, ZKP age-verification tech, free expression, and more.

At today's Critical Minerals Ministerial with @VP Vance we joined efforts with global partners to build more secure and resilient critical mineral supply chains. Under President Trump's strong leadership, the U.S. is uniting likeminded governments to build stable and strong critical minerals supply chains to power our industries.
