                Memorandum of June 21, 2024

                
Establishment of the Economic Diplomacy Action 
                Group and Delegation of Certain Functions and 
                Authorities Under the Championing American Business 
                Through Diplomacy Act of 2019

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State[,] the Secretary 
                of the Treasury[,] the Secretary of Agriculture[,] the 
                Secretary of Commerce[,] the United States Trade 
                Representative[,] the Administrator of the United 
                States Agency for International Development[,] the 
                President of the Export-Import Bank of the United 
                States[, and] the Chief Executive Officer of the United 
                States International Development Finance Corporation

                Supporting United States economic and business 
                interests abroad is a foreign policy priority. United 
                States business has a critical role to play in 
                advancing broader United States national security and 
                foreign policy interests. Economic diplomacy can help 
                to promote broad-based, inclusive, responsible, and 
                sustainable economic growth, which enhances regional 
                stability and creates new and growing markets for 
                United States companies and opportunities for United 
                States workers. By the authority vested in me as 
                President by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States of America, including section 301 of 
                title 3, United States Code, and section 708 of the 
                Championing American Business Through Diplomacy Act of 
                2019 (Title VII of Division J of Public Law 116-94) 
                (the ``Act''), I hereby establish the Economic 
                Diplomacy Action Group (EDAG) and delegate to you the 
                functions and authorities vested in the President by 
                subsection 708(c)(3) of the Act to appoint to the EDAG 
                senior officials from your respective executive 
                departments and agencies (agencies).

                With respect to the performance of responsibilities 
                under this memorandum, the Secretary of State, in 
                coordination with the heads of relevant agencies, shall 
                encourage and coordinate the appointment of members of 
                the EDAG by the heads of their respective agencies. 
                Consistent with the Act, such members, as well as any 
                designated alternates, shall be senior officials who 
                exercise significant decision-making authority within 
                their respective agencies.

                The delegation in this memorandum shall apply to any 
                provisions of any future public laws that are the same 
                or substantially the same as those provisions 
                referenced in this memorandum.
