Clinton Says Diplomats Must Aid U.S. Businesses Overseas
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. needs more economists working in the diplomatic corps to help companies win business overseas and add jobs at home.
The State Department is training diplomats in economics, finance and markets to ensure they are focused on job creation in the U.S. and overseas, Clinton said today at a conference. Diplomats are being told to conduct “business outreach and advocacy” when overseas, she said.
