Postponement of U.S.-India Trade Policy Forum (TPF)
January 9 - United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk was previously scheduled to lead a delegation to India this week for the U.S.-India Trade Policy Forum (TPF). However, while considerable progress on developing the agenda for the TPF has been made, in view of the amount of preparatory work that remains to be done, the United States and India have decided to postpone the TPF until later this year. The additional time will allow us to further develop the TPF agenda and related activities. We look forward to a highly productive Trade Policy Forum in 2012. Further details about the rescheduling of the Trade Policy Forum are forthcoming. ================================================================================

"Insourcing" American Jobs
January 11 - This morning, Ambassador Kirk joined President Obama at the "Insourcing American Jobs" forum at the White House. This forum focused on increasing the trend of companies choosing to "insource" jobs and make new investments in the United States. The event was attended by 22 experts, labor leaders, elected officials, and business leaders from large and small companies. The forum provided an opportunity for participants to speak about their experiences and discuss additional steps for job creation in America.
The forum was broken down into three roundtable segments: the economics of bringing jobs back, company experiences with onshoring, and how partnership can help break down barriers. The discussions varied from "insourcing" trends to onshoring decision making to Federal efforts and additional business partnerships. In conjunction with the forum, the White House today released a report that details the emerging trend of "insourcing" and how companies are increasingly choosing to invest in the United States. The full report can be found here http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=6lcilzcab&et=1109072832323&s=9878&e=0011S687SsXKbQG82_O-YFbsSlRQsOFFlDEExNHfNRJ7tt7itqPjPweo-v6TViSqtg0UpU2EKkHPlFTsl1cklUlJpldvsQcP17aPyWDhn77C8ltkHgKnYxqKnPSMVxAWxcGFzdZRx4jWfOpp1QnZJMhStAEPcdKM8R56vKqPf3ohuadp1-pRNCYCcEwFMnLm8ofmCS7GqFgHBs=.
