Trade ministers from across the Asia-Pacific are arriving in Detroit, a city that in many ways embodies the presidents vision for the future of U.S. trade.
For the Biden administration, Detroit’s symbolic appeal as a host for this global confab is obvious. It epitomizes the resurgence of American manufacturing that the president has promised, and stands to benefit from a torrent of federal investment in emerging technologies like electric vehicles and semiconductors. It’s a contrast from when the U.S. last hosted APEC in 2011.
“For most of my adult life, manufacturing was leaving Detroit,” Duggan said in an interview. “And you look at what’s happened in the last seven or eight years, it has been remarkable.” “Detroit, in many ways, has exemplified how past trade deals — and the way that we have focused trade, by dominating corporate interests over workers’ interest — has meant the hollowing out of the manufacturing sector,” said Melinda St. Louis, director of the global trade watch program at Public Citizen, a progressive advocacy group.
“Detroit was the birthplace of the labor movement, and became this city of opportunity where you build a strong middle class that encompasses a large swath of the population,” said Charles Daniels, a senior campaign lead for the Communication Workers of America. “I feel like we’re going to be the rebirth of the labor movement.”
