Increasing American Jobs Through Greater United States Exports to Africa and Latin America Act of 2023
This bill requires the President to create a strategy aimed at doubling U.S. exports to Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean within 10 years, with the goal of supporting American jobs. The strategy must be developed with input from Congress, federal agencies, development banks, and the private sector, and submitted to Congress within 180 days, followed by a progress report after 3 years. It also establishes two special coordinators (one for Africa, one for Latin America/Caribbean) to oversee implementation and mandates standardized training for U.S. officials on export financing programs. Additionally, the bill encourages the administration to lead joint trade missions to these regions within one year.
