The U.S. Chamber is unmatched in its advocacy efforts on the international stage.

Each year, we host dozens of heads of state and senior officials from around the world at our historic headquarters in Washington, D.C. We also represent the American business community at multilateral gatherings, including the Munich Security Conference, the United Nations General Assembly, APEC, and COP.

As the voice of American business for more than 113 years, world leaders know that when they want to discuss investment, innovation, trade, and economic growth they need to meet with the U.S. Chamber.

The International Affairs Division champions the interests of American businesses abroad and helps companies navigate geopolitical risks. We help government leaders understand the needs of business and support smart policymaking. And we help companies deal with legislation and regulations impacting their business. Our proactive stance ensures that American businesses are well-represented in critical discussions and negotiations, from combating discriminatory regulations to influencing trade policies.

Here are world leaders who have met with the U.S. Chamber in the past two years.
