AmCham backs Trump-Kim summit

It said it will back US engagement in Asia’s free trade.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (AmCham SG) backed the meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, it said in a statement.

AmCham SG chairman Dwight Hutchins said, “Singapore’s talented government, commitment to rule of law, world-class infrastructure as well as a safe and secure environment are second to none. The American Chamber of Commerce Singapore (AmCham SG) is very encouraged by this endeavour between the two governments as regional security go hand-in-hand with economic security.”

AmCham SG governor Steve Okun added that the group is looking to support the US government as it develops it “whole-of-government” Indo-Pacific strategy.

“Coupled with leadership shown by these talks, we look forward to US engagement as the Asia Pacific moves forward on liberalizing trade. A regional, multiparty framework is the best way to address 21st century business issues, and AmCham SG supports full US engagement in the region,” he added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
