US business appeals for global engagement

Citing trade conflict, chamber chief wants Biden to restore country's role

A top business organization on Tuesday called on the incoming administration of US President-elect Joe Biden to reengage with the world and stabilize relations with China while lifting tariffs that hurt companies and customers in the United States.

Thomas Donohue, chief executive of the US Chamber of Commerce, made the appeal in his annual "State of American Business" speech.

He said the US' economic future is tied to its global engagement.
