Earlier this week, Ambassador Kirk traveled to Chicago, Illinois to meet with local business leaders and promote President Obama's National Export Initiative. While in Chicago, he participated in an export promotion forum sponsored by Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), hosted a meeting on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, met local business leaders at Robert Morris University in a roundtable hosted by Rep. Danny Davis (IL-7), and visited the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to hear from leaders of small exporting businesses.
See a slideshow of his trip below.
