Proclamation 10398 of May 13, 2022
World Trade Week, 2022
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
American workers are the finest in the world, and my
Administration remains steadfast in our commitment to
building a better America by pursuing a trade agenda
that puts workers first and helps foster a fairer, more
inclusive, more prosperous, and more resilient Nation.
During World Trade Week, we highlight the importance of
global trade and the role it plays in raising the
quality of life of American families while
strengthening our economy and our workforce.
There is no limit to what our Nation can achieve when
we work together, and I know that we can out-compete
any country in the world. Winning the competition for
the 21st century requires investing in our country and
our people here at home, and that is exactly what my
Administration is doing. Last year, we saw an
unprecedented revival of American manufacturing and the
pride that comes with stamping products ``Made in
America.'' From automobiles and semiconductors to clean
energy technologies, companies are building here in
America again; we added over 350,000 manufacturing jobs
to the economy in 2021--the best year for manufacturing
jobs in nearly three decades. Through the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, we are making crucial investments
in our Nation's infrastructure, including in our ports,
highways, roads, airports, and bridges, which American
companies rely on to export goods. Companies have
announced billions of dollars in new investments to
produce and manufacture more goods right here on
American soil.
Not only are we building American products and services
here at home--we are selling them around the globe. My
Administration has developed a comprehensive trade
policy that increases and diversifies the pool of
American businesses engaging in international trade. We
have set a bold goal to double the number of businesses
receiving export assistance from the Department of
Commerce, with particular emphasis on engaging with
businesses in historically underserved communities. We
have made it possible for small and medium enterprises
engaged in export-oriented manufacturing projects to
benefit from medium- and long-term loans and loan
guarantees offered by the Export-Import Bank of the
United States.
My Administration continues to marshal a whole-of-
government approach to address issues that threaten our
economic security and prosperity--from an unprecedented
pandemic and the climate crisis to global conflict and
geopolitical instability. We are making investments to
strengthen our global supply chains even as we
strengthen our domestic supply chains in critical
industries, and we are standing up to bring an end to
unfair foreign trade practices that harm American
workers, producers, and businesses.
We are also deepening our crucial bilateral and
multilateral economic relationships with partners and
allies to ensure a level playing field for United
States businesses and workers and build a more stable,
fair, and dependable international economic arena. This
entails working together to enforce existing trade
agreements while establishing new and improved trade
frameworks. We are also recommitting the United States
to global multilateral institutions, including the
World Trade Organization, in pursuit of more durable,
resilient,
[[Page 30392]]
and sustainable trade policies that deliver better
results for American workers and families.
At the same time, we are resolving ongoing issues with
our trading partners and using trade as a tool to help
address our common challenges, including climate change
and the threat of unfair competition from non-market
and authoritarian regimes. We reached a groundbreaking
deal with the European Union that included a commitment
to negotiate the world's first emission-based trade
arrangement on steel and aluminum trade. We concluded a
17-year international commercial aviation dispute that
will support good-paying jobs here at home. We reached
deals with the United Kingdom and Japan on steel and
aluminum. We addressed environmental protections
through the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. We
are also using trade to rebuild our alliances and meet
shared security challenges, which threaten our
networks, our quality of life, and the strength of our
democracies. We are ushering in a new era of
transatlantic cooperation between the United States and
the European Union--including the U.S.-EU Trade and
Technology Council and Transatlantic Data Privacy
Framework--and developing an Indo-Pacific Economic
Framework to strengthen our economic and trade
relationships with partners in the region.
Now more than ever, we need our trade policies to
deliver for American workers and families. With strong
investments and resources--and a bold strategy for
inclusive and long-lasting economic prosperity--
American businesses and workers will continue to meet
every challenge and win the competition for the 21st
century.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of
the United States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 15 through
May 21, 2022, as World Trade Week. I call upon all
Americans to observe this week and to celebrate with
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
sixth.
