I Love Free Trade!

Free Trade Event Wando Terminal 1


I caught a glimpse of the Consumer Electronics Association’s (CEA) 45 foot-tour bus when it stopped in South Carolina on Friday for a visit to the Port of Charleston. Currently traveling the country on the “America Wins With Trade” tour, representatives from the CEA joined the South Carolina State Ports Authority (SCSPA) and the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce at the Wando Welch Terminal of the Port.

The 30 state tour, which kicked off last week in New York City, is promoting the importance of trade to U.S. jobs and economic growth.

Local officials who attended the event emphasized the benefits of trade to residents of the Palmetto State. “Here in South Carolina, international trade means real jobs to real people,” said Bernie Groseclose, president and CEO of the SCSPA. “In fact, more than 400,000 men and women in our state owe their jobs to trade.”
