The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is committed to keeping the U.S. globally engaged and competitive and to maintaining trade as a national priority as an engine for growth. The Chamber is working with Congress and the Administration to keep the trade agenda moving forward.

  • Trade generates more than a quarter of our GDP

  • 97% of exporters are small businesses, and exports directly support 12 million jobs, and indirectly support millions of other jobs.

  • Imports keep inflation low and expand consumer choice and quality.

  • Foreign companies in the United States directly employ 5.1 million Americans and support millions more indirectly.

As Senior Vice President, International Affairs, Mr. Brilliant is responsible for driving the global business strategy of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He represents the Chamber before foreign government and business leaders and oversees a team of policy experts committed to expanding global commercial engagement. Mr. Brilliant previously served as the Chamber's Vice President for Asia, where he developed the largest Asia policy shop in Washington, D.C. He has led numerous broad-based business coalitions working on strengthening U.S.-China relations and promoting free trade agreements with Singapore, Australia, and South Korea.
