They are essential in advancing U.S. economic and national security goals through promoting fair and balanced trade, U.S. manufacturing competitiveness, secure domestic supply chains, and energy dominance. U.S. environmental technologies goods and services are globally competitive, contributing approximately $60 billion in U.S. exports annually and employing an estimated 1.9 million Americans. ETTAC guidance is vital to advancing the America First Trade Policy agenda, including informing U.S. government programs and activities to expand U.S. natural resource management and environmental technologies exports.
