USAgNet - 09/27/2021
The Senate has confirmed Sarah Bianchi and Jayme White as deputy U.S. trade representatives, serving under USTR Ambassador Katherine Tai.
Bianchi, who most recently was with Evercore ISI, a macroeconomic research group, where she oversaw public-policy research, served as then-Vice President Biden’s economic and domestic policy adviser from 2011 to 2019. She also served as deputy
assistant to the president for economic policy.
White has been with the Senate Finance Committee since 2009 and has served as the panel’s chief trade adviser since 2014. He was legislative director for committee chairman, Ron Wyden (D-OR). Prior to that, he worked for former Rep. Jim McDermott
(D-WA), who served on the House Committee on Ways and Means, which has jurisdiction over international trade. At USTR, Bianchi is expected to oversee Asia, Africa, investments, services, textiles and industrial competitiveness, while White will cover the
Western Hemisphere, Europe, the Middle East, labor and the environment.
