00:00:01,083 --> 00:00:07,570
(footsteps, then sitting at piano bench)

2
00:00:10,890 --> 00:00:15,827
(light piano music)

3
00:00:15,828 --> 00:00:19,625
(Narrator) You. The
importer, the carrier,

4
00:00:19,626 --> 00:00:23,553
the broker – fueling
commerce around the world.

5
00:00:23,554 --> 00:00:27,707
You. The entrepreneur,
the business owner,

6
00:00:27,726 --> 00:00:32,257
the consumer – the backbone
of the American economy.

7
00:00:32,257 --> 00:00:34,836
You… are trade.

8
00:00:34,837 --> 00:00:38,121
In today’s interconnected
world, everything you buy,

9
00:00:38,122 --> 00:00:41,484
sell, and rely on is
intertwined through trade.

10
00:00:42,468 --> 00:00:45,898
And yet, as trade rapidly
grows and evolves,

11
00:00:45,899 --> 00:00:49,828
our laws, methods, and
technologies can no longer keep up.

12
00:00:50,703 --> 00:00:53,960
But working together
consumers, industry,

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,057
and government can
move trade forward

14
00:00:57,058 --> 00:01:01,415
to advance America’s
businesses, families, and future.

15
00:01:01,416 --> 00:01:04,828
(music swells)

16
00:01:04,829 --> 00:01:10,430
To keep America moving forward, trade
must be reimagined… and transformed.

17
00:01:10,431 --> 00:01:13,977
(piano music) By harnessing
the power of the latest technology

18
00:01:13,978 --> 00:01:17,336
and modern processes,
data will seamlessly move

19
00:01:17,337 --> 00:01:22,625
through the supply chain – making
trade faster, cheaper, and safer.

20
00:01:22,626 --> 00:01:24,640
And that’s revolutionary.

21
00:01:25,406 --> 00:01:28,883
This data-driven approach
will allow a product to be traced

22
00:01:28,884 --> 00:01:33,849
throughout the supply chain, verifying that
it was ethically sourced and manufactured.

23
00:01:34,757 --> 00:01:39,570
That same visibility will make sure the food,
medicines, and other products you and your

24
00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:43,648
family use come from
safe and reliable sources.

25
00:01:43,649 --> 00:01:48,203
American businesses can grow
more jobs and be more competitive

26
00:01:48,204 --> 00:01:51,414
because they’ll be protected
from unfair business practices

27
00:01:51,415 --> 00:01:55,296
and intellectual property theft,
including counterfeit merchandise.

28
00:01:56,117 --> 00:01:58,493
And goods will
arrive more quickly

29
00:01:58,494 --> 00:02:03,460
as enhanced technologies help clear
them at our borders swiftly and securely.

30
00:02:04,406 --> 00:02:06,563
With this modern
system of trade,

31
00:02:06,564 --> 00:02:10,156
the U.S. will lead the world
with innovative practices,

32
00:02:10,157 --> 00:02:15,759
collect the revenue it is rightfully owed,
and secure our economic future.

33
00:02:15,766 --> 00:02:17,555
Imagine it.

34
00:02:17,556 --> 00:02:22,062
But it’s going to take all of us
working together to make it happen.

35
00:02:22,063 --> 00:02:28,829
Trade needs you. Your ideas,
your inspiration, your imagination…

36
00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:31,493
and your collaboration.

37
00:02:31,494 --> 00:02:33,805
Are you in?
