Today, Ambassador Kirk hosted a leadership discussion with 16 Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) fellows. He began the conversation by sharing his experience of being a member of President Obama’s Cabinet as the United States Trade Representative.

The questions and answers covered a variety of trade topics including the pending U.S. trade agreement with Korea. Ambassador Kirk and the fellows also discussed the value of education and how it will lead to more American innovation. That innovation will help the U.S. create the goods and services that the rest of the world wants to buy, which will increase our exports and support well-paying jobs here at home, the Ambassador said.
