This
is the first edition of the U.S. Commercial Service’s
monthly newsletter, ParlezUSA. This monthly
digital briefing will provide timely information on
American business trends that will help French companies
connect with their American counterparts. Each month
ParlezUSA will also focus on French businesses
that trade with America, as well as upcoming events
in which the U.S. Commercial Service will participate.
All this information, along with superb customer service
from our award-winning trade specialists, will help
ensure that France remains among America’s top
trade partners.
This communiqué will be a two way street. I
want to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me
