More than 95% of consumers live outside the United States. Selling more U.S.-made goods and services around the world is crucial to American jobs and will help businesses small and large grow. Expanding trade also enhances the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers while boosting the buying power of American families. The International Affairs Division of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce leads the business community’s efforts to shape global policy.
