==Observances==
In the US, starting in 1935 the various [[United States President|U.S. Presidents]] have held "World Trade Week" observances to promote big and small companies to be more involved with the export and import of goods and services. This tradition was preceded by a local observance of "Foreign Trade Week" by the [[Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce]] that originated in 1927 as an expansion of [[United States National Maritime Day]].

President [[George W. Bush]] observed World Trade Week on May 18, 2001, and May 17, 2002.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Office of the Press Secretary|author-link=White House Office of the Press Secretary|title=World Trade Week, 2001|url=https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/05/22/01-13115/world-trade-week-2001|work=[[Federal Register]]|publisher=[[Federal Government of the United States]]|location=[[Washington, D.C.]]|date=May 22, 2001|access-date=March 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161124222044/https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/05/22/01-13115/world-trade-week-2001|archive-date=November 24, 2016}} [https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2001-05-22/pdf/01-13115.pdf Alt URL] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020162329/https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2001-05-22/pdf/01-13115.pdf |date=2017-10-20 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Office of the Press Secretary|author-link=White House Office of the Press Secretary|title=World Trade Week, 2002|url=https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/05/22/02-13030/world-trade-week-2002|work=[[Federal Register]]|publisher=[[Federal Government of the United States]]|location=[[Washington, D.C.]]|date=May 22, 2002|access-date=March 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170313130043/https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/05/22/02-13030/world-trade-week-2002|archive-date=March 13, 2017}} [https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2002-05-22/pdf/02-13030.pdf Alt URL] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020162332/https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2002-05-22/pdf/02-13030.pdf |date=2017-10-20 }}</ref> On May 13, 2016, President [[Barack Obama]] proclaimed May 15 through May 21, 2016, World Trade Week, 2016.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/05/13/presidential-proclamation-world-trade-week-2016|title=Presidential Proclamation -- World Trade Week, 2016|location=[[Washington, D.C.]]|language=en|date=May 13, 2016|via=[[NARA|National Archives]]|work=[[whitehouse.gov]]|access-date=April 11, 2017|archive-date=April 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170411140109/https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/05/13/presidential-proclamation-world-trade-week-2016|url-status=live}}</ref> On May 19, 2017, President [[Donald Trump]] proclaimed May 21 through May 27, 2017, World Trade Week, 2017.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Office of the Press Secretary|author-link=White House Office of the Press Secretary|url=https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/05/19/president-donald-j-trump-proclaims-may-21-through-may-27-2017-world|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170520071051/https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/05/19/president-donald-j-trump-proclaims-may-21-through-may-27-2017-world|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 20, 2017|title=President Donald J.
