Office of Commercial & Business Affairs

At the @thenbl1900 conference this weekend, the @StateDept was recognized as Federal Agency of the Year for its support of 🇺🇸 companies. We’re proud to be a champion for American businesses and workers and to promote fair trade relationships through which our companies thrive.

In his remarks at the 7th Annual @MeridianIntl Economic & Trade Counselors Reception, E SO Lersten emphasized the importance of our commercial relationships abroad to America’s prosperity and that of our partners.

Yesterday, Acting Special Representative Audu Besmer briefed members of the @MeridianIntl Corporate Council on how the @StateDept is using commercial diplomacy to make America more prosperous.

Senior Official Lersten and @AmChamKorea had a productive meeting where they discussed market access and deregulation and efforts to balance U.S. - ROK trade. We are committed to marking sure Americans everywhere benefit from our economic partnership with Korea!

Our prayers go out to the loved ones of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky. May their memories be a blessing. We stand with our partners at the Israeli embassy, and we stand with Jewish people in the U.S. and around the world – because America has a history of not allowing the monsters among us to destroy life, the future, and everything that matters.

We were excited to host a delegation of 50 people from 25 Georgian companies at the @SelectUSA Investment Summit—the top U.S. event for foreign investors—to explore opportunities in tech, energy & more.  Thank you!

Looking back on the @SelectUSA Investment Summit last week, which sparked nearly $1 billion in new investments in the United States. While we await next year's summit (May 3-6, 2026), the work of @StateDept’s economic officers worldwide to make America more prosperous continues.

It’s time to invest in America! @POTUS has already secured over $9 trillion in commitments from foreign investors. The U.S. remains the most stable investment destination for foreign companies. As @DeputySecState shared @SelectUSA: We are open for business!

.@SecRubio participated in a successful NATO leaders meeting this week where he made clear: The NATO Alliance is only as strong as its weakest link. Strength is a shared responsibility. No excuses.

Commercial diplomacy is a top priority for the @StateDept. In the first 100 days of the Trump Administration, @SecRubio and @DeputySecState personally advocated for more than $66 billion in new deals for U.S. companies in meetings with senior foreign government officials. Businesses that want to succeed recognize the value of having a strong presence in the United States.

We stand at a pivotal moment in American economic history. Through his historic and decisive actions on rebalancing global trade policy, deregulation, and tax cuts, @POTUS is sending a clear message: It’s time to invest in America. — @DeputySecState Landau at @SelectUSA

In remarks to @SelectUSA, @DeputySecState Landau emphasizes the importance of foreign investment in the United States and the Department’s role in building our commercial and economic ties with countries around the world.
