Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is visiting several countries this week as part of an international trade mission to “discuss ways in which Florida can expand economic partnerships,” according to his office.
The governor is heading up the international trade mission, working with the public–private partnership Enterprise Florida alongside his wife, first lady Casey DeSantis, Florida Secretary of Commerce Laura DiBella, and Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd. The trip is focused on building economic relationships with the Sunshine State. He is visiting Japan, South Korea, Israel, and the United Kingdom in hopes of strengthening economic partnerships with these countries.
“This trade mission will give us the opportunity to strengthen economic relationships and continue to demonstrate Florida’s position as an economic leader,” DeSantis said.
