The Public Record
Katherine Chi Tai is an American attorney and trade policy expert currently serving as the United States Trade Representative since March 2021. She is notable for being the first Asian American and the first woman of color to hold this position. In her role, Tai has focused on addressing trade issues and promoting fair trade practices, particularly in relation to China and other global partners. Her work emphasizes the importance of labor rights and environmental standards in trade agreements.

Trade policy will be an essential component of the fight against COVID-19, the economic recovery, and the Build Back Better agenda.

I want to acknowledge that, if confirmed, this will be an area that will require close coordination.
I will be very interested in being part of the administration's conversation with Congress about what we do in our whole-of-government approach to addressing this question.
I think that, for a very long time, regular people, ordinary Americans and workers, have felt disconnected from our trade policies.
Good governance, rule of law, anti-corruption are fundamental values that we as Americans want to hold ourselves to, and that we will want to hold our trading partners to.
