In a nod to Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Katherine Tai opened up in a conversation with NBCAsianAmerica about how her heritage informs her work as America’s top trade negotiator.
To a degree, she says, having been raised, lived and worked in both cultures informs her perspective: “I feel like my entire life, I’ve been trained as a bridge-builder and someone who is always bridging two languages, two worlds, two cultures, two sets of expectations,” she says.
“I feel like being Asian American, but also being very steeped in these issues, substantively, means that I bring a very high degree of discipline to my policy approach and to the way I talk about these issues” Tai said.
Looking back at the path that made her who she is and brought her to where she is now — at the center of some of the highest-stakes economic dealmaking facing the U.S. — Tai recalls that her mother was more the “tiger mom” type, while her father was “absolutely the nurturer in the family.”
