This year’s ACE Delegation brought together 37 AmCham executives representing 30 countries for a dynamic week in Washington, D.C., and Austin, Texas, to advance the dialogue shaping the future of transatlantic partnerships.
From April 20-24, ACE Executive Directors and AmChams representatives from across Europe will meet with leading policymakers and business leaders while visiting key government institutions and corporate headquarters.
AmCham Ukraine President Andy Hunder and Vice President Tanya Prokopchuk are bringing Ukraine’s business voice to the table.
The first high-level meetings included briefings at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on the current political landscape, the evolving global trade environment, energy, and EU-U.S. security partnerships. Delegates also gained insights from Assistant Secretary David L. Fogel of the U.S. Department of Commerce on the state of EU-U.S. trade relations and key regulatory developments.
The following day, at the U.S. Department of State, the AmChams in Europe delegation exchanged views on European affairs, defense, trade controls, and the evolving landscape of international trade, energy, and security, underscoring the importance of strong transatlantic coordination in an increasingly complex geopolitical environment.
With the delegation, AmCham Ukraine President Andy Hunder and Vice President Tanya Prokopchuk met with Michael Rigas, Deputy Secretary of State Management and Resources, Courtney Austrian, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, Tsering Dhongthog, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Trade Policy and Negotiations, and Michael Vaccaro, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Defense Trade Controls.
