U.S. Senior Official for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Casey Mace is heading the U.S. delegation at the 2026 Third Senior Officials’ Meeting and Related Meetings (SOM3) in Dalian, China.

State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said, “U.S. officials will be focused on creating more opportunities in the APEC region for American businesses in sectors related to agriculture, energy, transportation, fisheries, health, and food security.”

He added, “In addition, through U.S.-led events, the United States will advance policies that reduce barriers to services exports, expand government partnerships that showcase U.S. private sector innovations across supply chains, and lead discussions on trade and labor.”

Runoff elections are being held in Georgia, Oklahoma, and South Carolina today.
