the agreement that we have with China is the agreement that we have, and there are promises that China made that China needs to deliver on.

I expect Ms. Tai will well demonstrate in today's hearing that she has the requisite skillset to deliver as much.

I believe that trade policy has a lot to contribute to the climate effort.

That is a pattern that we are trying to break out of.

I know that the challenges ahead are significant. Our first task will be to help American communities emerge from the pandemic and economic crisis.

I want to reinforce your description of the relationship and the partnership that is required between the administration and Congress on trade as a constitutional and legal matter.

I appreciated your picking up on that point I made when we were having discussions with respect to trade really being about expanding the winner's circle.

I think that our trade policies need to be nuanced and need to take into account all of the lessons that we have learned--many of them very painful--from our most recent history.

If the Biden administration wants a worker-centered trade policy, as it claims it does, then our USTR should ensure that the international trading regime strongly reflects American values rather than those of China.

If confirmed, working on the relationship with China on the implementation of the China agreement is absolutely critical.

I know that the Biden administration is committed to cooperative multilateral efforts at the OECD and the G20.

Ms. Tai, you must make the President understand that trade is a domestic priority for hundreds of millions of Americans.
