WASHINGTON – Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), Republican Leader of the House Committee on Ways and Means, issued the following statement on the Senate confirmation of Katherine Tai as U.S. Trade Representative.

“Katherine Tai’s impeccable credentials, especially as a distinguished alum of our Ways & Means Committee staff, will serve her well in her new role as the U.S. Trade Representative. Trade is vital to American workers and for job creation, and I look forward to working with her to prioritize finalizing agreements already underway, implement USMCA, take our trade agreement with China to the next level, and work with us to take care of unfinished business by renewing GSP and MTB as soon as possible.”
