Joint Center Quoted on USTR Chief of Staff Appointment

Joint Center Vice President of Policy Jessica Fulton was quoted in the U.S. Trade Representative’s statement on Jamila Thompson’s appointment as the USTR Chief of Staff.

In the statement Fulton said, “Jamila Thompson’s appointment as USTR’s permanent chief of staff marks a pivotal moment in advancing equity in the Biden-Harris administration. Her dedication to inclusive economic growth and trade policies, particularly for marginalized communities, including Black women, is evident in her commitment to equity both domestically and across the diaspora. Jamila’s extensive experience will undoubtedly help steer USTR toward greater balance and equity in its economic justice initiatives. The Joint Center looks forward to building on our partnership with Jamila, whose leadership will foster the continued success of USTR.”
