Kirk & AAFA Fight for Open Markets


(Filed Under wholesale Classic Slippers/Shoes News). It has been confirmed the Senate voted and appointed Ron Kirk, former Dallas mayor, to be the next U.S. trade representative (USTR).

“Probably one of the most impacting positions in our government, the USTR is responsible for negotiating and enforcing a trade policy that creates economic opportunities for U.S. businesses and manufacturers,” said Kevin M. Burke, president and CEO of the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA). “As USTR, Ambassador Kirk has many challenges ahead of him.”

He added: “Our first challenge is to combat any domestic and international shifts toward isolationism that may close off markets. If we want to see our economy rebound, we must have open markets and greater access for our products around the world. I look forward to working with Ambassador Kirk to turn these challenges into successes for the apparel and footwear industries.”
