"Ninety-five percent of the world's consumers and eighty
percent of the world's purchasing power are outside our
borders. That's why USTR is seizing on every opportunity to
increase our exports, grow our economy, and support job
creation aimed at strengthening the American middle class.
We're selling more Made in America products to the rest of
the world than ever before. But, there is still more we can do
to help support the additional job creation our economy
needs by harnessing the power of exports."- Ambassador
Froman
