US Senate confirmed Katherine Tai to serve as US trade representative on Wednesday, giving her a key role to smooth supply chains shaken by the pandemic, implement a new trade deal with Mexico and Canada and address a multitude of challenges with China. She is the first Asian American and the first woman of color to hold the position.
 

Tai, the daughter of immigrants from Taiwan, is the first woman of color to be the top US trade negotiator. The vote was 98 to 0.
 

Tai served as the top Democratic trade counsel for the House Ways and Means Committee, playing a crucial part in the negotiations on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which was struck by the Trump administration. She previously oversaw trade enforcement for China during the Obama administration.
