Katherine Tai, President Joe Biden’s choice for U.S. Trade Representative ambassador, appeared before the Senate Finance Committee Feb. 25. Her promises for an allied approach to trade and enforcing trade partners to abide by their commitments drew bipartisan praise from senators, with signs pointing to strong, if not unanimous, support for her nomination which the committee plans to take up Wednesday.
She was introduced to the committee by the top Democrat and Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., and Ranking Member Kevin Brady, R-Texas, as she previously served as a trade lawyer on the committee staff.
