It is a great honor to be part of this Administration and to put into practice the President’s agenda to create opportunity for U.S. workers and firms by promoting exporting. It is also a privilege to be able to answer a few of your questions about international trade and the role the U.S. Foreign and Commercial Service plays in helping American businesses compete in the global marketplace.

Good afternoon everyone. Thank you very much for having me on “Ask the White House.” As you know, The President and Mrs. Bush welcomed Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness, The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, for a State Visit yesterday at the White House. It was a beautiful day with the State Arrival Ceremony in the morning and the State Dinner in the evening.
