U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Statement on Trade Town Hall in Queens

NEW YORK, NY- Congressman Gregory Meeks released the following statement regarding a trade focused town hall event that he attended in his district with a representative from the Obama Administration:

“I thank the organizers of tonight’s important Trade Town Hall event for the invitation to participate. It was a welcomed opportunity to discuss President Obama's economic and trade agenda with my constituents and relevant stakeholders. I was delighted that the Obama Administration sent a representative to directly engage with local constituents about the President's efforts to expand U.S. exports and level the playing field for U.S. exporters. With more than one in five New York jobs dependent on international trade, supporting the President's efforts to open markets for American businesses is about economic growth for New York and our nation. I look forward to a continued dialogue here in my district, and in Washington with the Administration, and my colleagues in Congress as we consider action on pending trade deals.”
