“It’s our largest trading partner,” said Governor of Alaska Bill Walker. “We have a long history with China of a trade relationship.”

Governor of Wyoming: Trading ideas, not just commodities

When talking about the trade opportunities between China and the US, Governor of Wyoming Matt Mead acknowledges that during his trips to China, one of the things that’s struck him is “the number of people and the number of opportunities presented for trade with the United States and with individual states.”
