Location:

While headquartered in the U.S., the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has a significant global impact through its International Affairs Division. It advocates for international trade and investment policies that benefit American businesses. It engages with foreign governments, international organizations, and American Chambers of Commerce (AmChams) abroad. The Chamber also operates several bilateral business councils (e.g., U.S.-India Business Council, U.S.-Africa Business Center) to foster economic ties with specific countries and regions. They do not typically operate physical branch offices internationally in the same way a multinational corporation would, but rather exert influence through policy, partnerships, and representative missions.
