Commerce secretary planning Mexico trade trip

Pritzker

   U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker will lead her first business development mission to Mexico City and Monterrey, Mexico from Nov. 18-22.
   The mission’s purpose is to strengthen the countries’ bilateral commercial and economic relationship and highlight new U.S. business opportunities with Mexico.
   Mexico is the United States’ second largest export market and third biggest trading partner. Twenty-two U.S. states depend on Mexico as the first or second destination for exports, and more than $1.25 billion in goods and services are traded between the United States and Mexico every day, according to Commerce.
