[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The Korea International Trade Association (KITA) announced on the 17th that it held the 'U.S. Washington Trade Experts Meeting' via video conference at the Trade Tower in Samseong-dong, Seoul.

On the Korean side, KITA Chairman Koo Ja-yeol, along with executives from major corporations such as Samsung Electronics, POSCO, Hyundai Steel, and mid-sized export companies, attended. On the U.S. side, experts included Stacy Ettinger, partner attorney at the law firm K&L Gates (former legal and policy advisor at the U.S. Department of Commerce), John Neuffer, president of the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), and JC Sandberg, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the American Clean Power Association (ACP). They discussed the economic trade and green policies of the Biden administration and cooperation measures between the two countries.

Chairman Koo said in his opening remarks, "The United States is not only a major trading partner of Korea but also the country where our companies invest the most." He added, "Our companies are highly interested in the U.S. infrastructure investment plan signed by President Biden on the 15th, as well as economic trade policies, U.S. supply chain, and environmental policies."

Attorney Stacy Ettinger emphasized, "The Biden administration is deeply concerned about how China's state-led economic system distorts the global market and affects U.S. interests," and stated, "We will continue to build an alliance cooperation system to counter China."

JC Sandberg, CAO, stressed, "This year is a landmark year for building U.S. clean energy infrastructure," adding, "The U.S. is pursuing policies to expand investment in the clean energy sector as a key goal in addressing climate change both domestically and internationally, and cooperation with Korea will expand in this process."
