On 29 September the Latin American Table of Societeit de Witte hosted a lecture by Ms Sherry-Keneson Hall, Public Affairs Counsellor at the US Embassy in The Hague.
The subject of the lecture was US trade with Latin America, with Ms Keneson-Hall providing an authoritative summary of the latest developments in the many and varied bilateral trade relationships between the US and its southern neighbours.
Guests at the historic social club, many of whom hailed from Latin American countries themselves and included several embassy representatives, enjoyed a detailed assessment of the latest trade developments in the Americas.
On the whole, trade relations are strong and in many cases bilateral economic ties between the US and Latin American nations are strengthening, explained Ms Keneson-Hall. Although the political climate may create uncertainties, she emphasised that the US remained open to trade and would seek to continue actively strengthening its trading position across Latin America.
After the lecture, a lively Q&A session was held, followed by a dinner.
