WASHINGTON (Nov. 14, 2025) - Today the American Chemistry Council released the following statement on USTR's announcement of new framework trade agreements with Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Guatemala. This quote may be attributed to Chris Jahn, ACC's President and CEO.
"ACC applauds USTR's announcement of new framework trade agreements with Argentina and other countries. Our industries in Argentina and the United States are long-standing supporters of a pro-growth, deregulatory agenda that supports new value chains where the U.S and Argentina have a competitive advantage, such as mechanical and advanced recycling, and helps ensure a level playing field against unfair trading practices from other countries. A sectoral initiative on chemicals between the United States and Argentina would be a win for both countries, supporting more resilient supply chains for chemicals and the essential industries reliant on chemical inputs for their domestic production including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, energy, resource mining, consumer products, and construction materials"
The American Chemistry Council's mission is to advocate for the people, policy, and products of chemistry that make the United States the global leader in innovation and manufacturing. To achieve this, we: Champion science-based policy solutions across all levels of government; Drive continuous performance improvement to protect employees and communities through Responsible Care®; Foster the development of sustainability practices throughout ACC member companies; and Communicate authentically with communities about challenges and solutions for a safer, healthier and more sustainable way of life. Our vision is a world made better by chemistry, where people live happier, healthier, and more prosperous lives, safely and sustainably-for generations to come.
