Ron Kirk Biography




Ambassador Ron Kirk is the former United States Trade Representative (USTR). He was a member of President Obamas Cabinet and served as the President's principal trade adviser, negotiator, and spokesperson on trade issues.

When Ambassador Kirk was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in March 2009, he led the Obama Administrations market-opening negotiations and dialogue with trading partners around the world, including the conclusion and congressional passage of bilateral free trade agreements with Korea, Colombia, and Panama, advancing the ambitious regional Trans-Pacific Partnership talks, and sustaining serious U.S. engagement at the World Trade Organization.

Ambassador Kirk simultaneously pursued robust enforcement of America's trade rights in support of U.S. businesses and workers, and he has focused efforts to better assist American small businesses seeking opportunities in international markets.
