- Lawrence Eagleburger
About this Quote
This quote by Lawrence Eagleburger suggests that in an ideal world, everyone in the U.S. Embassy would be actively working to promote and facilitate U.S. exports. This could include providing recommendations and support to U.S. companies aiming to export their items, helping to work out trade arrangements, and offering support to U.S. business seeking to get in foreign markets. It could also consist of offering details and resources to foreign companies looking to acquire U.S. products, in addition to helping to solve any disputes that may arise in between U.S. and foreign business. By working together, the U.S. Embassy and U.S. companies can help to ensure that U.S. exports stay competitive in the worldwide market.
