WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ The following is a statement from Jim Hoffa, Teamsters General President, on President-elect Joe Biden s nomination of current House Ways and Means Committee trade lawyer Katherine Tai to serve as U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in his administration. In these times, our nation requires a steady and experienced hand to guide trade policy, particularly with countries which we have a sometimes contentious relationship. That is why the Teamsters are delighted that President-elect Biden has chosen Katherine Tai to serve in this capacity. We urge the next Senate to approve the nomination quickly once it is seated.
