Who We Are
Would you like to make a difference in today's world? Consider a position in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in the Executive Office of the President. The head of USTR is the U.S. Trade Representative, a Cabinet member who serves as the President’s principal trade policy advisor, chief trade negotiator, and spokesperson on trade issues. The U.S. Trade Representative and the Agency's staff are responsible for developing and implementing trade and investment policies, overseeing trade and investment negotiations with other countries, and monitoring and enforcing trade agreements and laws creating new opportunities for American businesses, workers, and agricultural producers. USTR coordinates trade and investment policy and actions among agencies and frames issues for Presidential decision.
USMCA
On January 29, 2020, the President enacted the legislation approving the United States - Mexico – Canada Agreement (USMCA). The USMCA will create a more balanced, reciprocal trade relationship with Canada and Mexico, creating new opportunities for farmers, manufacturers, workers, and businesses and supporting high-paying jobs for Americans. Once it enters into force, the USMCA will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement and provide high-standard disciplines in a wide array of areas, including labor and environment.
The USMCA Implementation Act (Public Law 116-113) establishes an Interagency Labor Committee for Monitoring and Enforcement of the USMCA’s labor provisions (sec. 711 of the Act). The Committee’s responsibilities include, among other things, assessments of Mexico’s compliance with its obligations under Annex 23-A of the USMCA and recommendations for enforcement actions. See sections 712 through 719 of the Act for the Committee’s other responsibilities.
USTR is seeking attorneys to help monitor and enforce the obligations of the USMCA, particularly with respect to the labor chapter.
