Global Economic Statecraft Day
On June 14, American embassies and consulates around the world hosted events that highlight our economic statecraft agenda, create American jobs, and strengthen our shared economic future. Businesses, governments, and civil society leaders came together to find new ways to invest and work together – whether through a public dialogue, a partnership announcement, or a meeting to discuss export opportunities. We are sending the message to people in every region – the United States is open for business and tourism, and we have the economic tools to create new jobs and expand trade and investment – at home and abroad.

Economic Statecraft
Secretary Clinton is placing economics and market forces at the center of U.S. foreign policy. Economic Statecraft means both harnessing global economic forces to advance America’s foreign policy and employing the tools of foreign policy to shore up our economic strength. We have backed this vision with an ambitious agenda, covering four broad elements:
-
Updating Our Priorities
-
Playing Better Offense: Our Trade, Investment, and Commercial Diplomacy Agenda
-
Using Economic Tools to Solve Foreign Policy Challenges
-
Building the Capacity of the Department of State
