Today, I’m speaking to you from Indonesia as I finish up my trip to the Asia Pacific – the regionwhere we do most of our trade and sell most of our exports. And over the past week, theprogress we’ve made in opening markets and boosting exports here will help create more jobs andmore growth in the United States.
Here in Indonesia, I was proud to join leaders from some of our nation’s top companies as theyannounced trade deals that will support nearly 130,000 American jobs and potentially increase U.S.exports by up to $39 billion. Boeing, for example, will sell more than 200 planes to Indonesia thatare built with parts from suppliers in more than 40 states. And a deal to export GE engines willsupport jobs at plants in Ohio and North Carolina. These agreements will help us reach my goal of doubling American exports by 2014
