USCIB Co-Hosts Breakfast Roundtable on the Sidelines of the B20 Summit

USCIB and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) co-hosted a breakfast roundtable discussion on Digital Trade: What Should the Next Generation of Trade Agreements Deliver on November 10 in Washington, DC. The discussion focused on new rules for digital trade and where to address them, featuring Ken Schagrin, Assistant USTR for Services and Investment, and Sandra Soon, Director, Ministry of Trade and Industry and Economic Counselor at the Singapore Embassy in Washington, DC.

Whitney Baird, President and CEO at USCIB, opened the roundtable with remarks emphasizing the need for interoperability and lower barriers to digital services. This is particularly important today with the growing threat of data localization and digital sovereignty measures raising compliance costs and fragmenting markets for US companies.
