Clinton pledges support for US business
Wednesday, 22 February 2012 03:02

WASHINGTON:Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised Tuesday that US diplomats would do more to promote business interests overseas but renewed criticism of what she called unfair government support by China.

Clinton, meeting with executives from around the world, pledged that she would meet business leaders on every foreign trip and named former investment banker Heidi Rediker to a new position of State Department chief economist.

"We had fallen behind some other countries -- some of them our friends and allies -- when it came to using diplomacy to promote economic interests. American companies haven't always seen the federal government as an ally," Clinton said.

"I've directed all our senior diplomats to conduct business outreach and advocacy when they travel overseas," she said. "We will not rest until the US government is the most effective champion of business and trade anywhere."

1. Ah, yes, I'm sure DLC Hillary will meet with business leaders to promote economic interests

Yep. She sure will.....

[elfin]

2. Any connection to the coming vacancy at the head of the World Bank???

Nah. Or was that the IMF she was reported to be interested in?

She's moving on during what I hope is Obama's second term to establish even more creds for 2016 while blending in with the current political agenda.

3. Is it just me, or does this seem somewhat inappropriate?

We, as a nation, have a rather different agenda than "our" businesses do.

4. Exactly. Watch the video I posted. American workers better watch out. n/t

5. America is not just business....

"We will not rest until the US government is the most effective champion of business and trade anywhere."

....why don't you try not resting until we have a stable and affordable source for oil? If you had to pony-up every time you took a ride, you'd soon realize that the American people are hurting at the pump.

"I've directed all our senior diplomats to conduct business outreach and advocacy..."

....just more federal government protection for the interests of the 1%; no doubt at the expense of the lives, jobs, health and well-being of the 99%.

Furthermore, you have a problem with US foreign policy? Take it up with the president.
