Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
Chaired by Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., the task force “will examine the process, make it more transparent [and] ensure that we’re getting the instruments of war, which are also the instruments of peace, into the hands of the right allies at the pace that war, deterrence and preparation require," Mast said at the meeting.
Mast also announced that the new Subcommittee on South and Central Asia, chaired by Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich. (see 2501080076), will oversee the Bureau of Industry and Security and the International Trade Administration.
