SB 357, the Chamber sponsored state bill authored by Senator Hueso to establish a California trade office in Mexico City has been approved by the California Senate and advanced to the Assembly.
Given the uncertainty at the federal level regarding the United States’ trading partnership with Mexico, it is vital that California and Mexico maintain open and ongoing discussions about economic opportunities. By opening a trade and investment office in the commercial and political capital of Mexico, SB 357 would strengthen the California and Mexico economies and contribute to the prosperity of both of the American and Mexican people. Through this effort, we can reassure both our civic and business leaders that we value robust trade and open dialogue with each other.
