The participants received a first-hand explanation of the U.S. Government’s plans to increase its support of U.S. manufacturing businesses - including the goal of doubling U.S. exports within five years, hammerig out more trade agreements, increasing pressure on trading partners to further open their markets to U.S. products, and a proposal to create an export promotion cabinet.

U.S. President Barack Obama outlined his vision for this new export initiative, as well as the various facets of the program and how they would to be implemented, including more financial support for export promotion.
