United States to Establish Trade Agencies Worldwide

About 900 staff will include 150 commercial attaches and 780 American consular officers, with Latin America prioritized. Attachés gain more authority to engage in trade policy, aiding exports and addressing currency issues. Secretary Hopkins will oversee Central and South American trade promotion.
