Between 20th May 2021 and 20th May 2022, the Department of International Trade’s Ministers have visited the following US States: Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee , Texas and Washington DC .

These visits were accompanied by officials. However, we don’t track centrally, all visits made by officials when not accompanying Ministers. Some officials will have travelled in that time for a variety of reasons including to begin new roles in posts, to visit their counterparts in US government, to support the Department's objectives to promote exports and investment in the US. Departmental travel guidance will have been followed to ensure value for money.
