Today our trade delegation arrived in Miami, FL. We had a productive night discussing our goals for the trip and preparing for our departure Tuesday morning.
One of the highlights of the evening briefing meeting was the desire of the group to have a moment of silence to honor our nation’s valiant servicemen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedoms. Although we will be traveling far from home, we all carry with us appreciation for our way of life and optimism of opportunity passed on to us from the sacrifices of others.
The delegation is a broad spectrum of talented Texans representing the best our state has to offer. (Click HERE to see delegation list) We travel with no delusions: we are entering a very competitive global market with trade restrictions. Yet, we are optimistic that Texas ingenuity and creativity will find a way to compete.
We will arrive in Havana, Cuba in the afternoon on Tuesday. That evening we will host a reception for the officials of Cuba's food import agency, Alimport.
