Businesses discussed a range of topics with Ms Gallant including the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and the opportunities for local businesses to expand their presence in the US market

GBCC head of policy Raj Kandola said: “Building on our longstanding ties with the US Embassy, it was great that Rosemary was able to join us in Birmingham yesterday to offer learned insight on the importance of bolstering trade links between the West Midlands and the United States.

“As an experienced Diplomat, Rosemary covered a range of topics across sustainability, procurement and air travel as the UK looks to strengthen its economic ties with the US Government.

“It was also fantastic to hear from a number of local firms that have cultivated strong transatlantic relationships and will be looking to expand their international presence in North America over the coming years. ”
