The Office of the Special Envoy for U.S. Trade & Investment

Established under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Office of the Special Envoy for U.S. Trade and Investment serves as the Republic of Liberia’s principal diplomatic and economic liaison with American investors, institutions, and global development actors. Led by Ambassador Isaac Taggart, Jr., the Office catalyzes transformative investment, supports policy modernization, and coordinates high-level trade engagements across both the public and private sectors. Our strategic vision aligns with H.E. President Joseph N. Boakai’s ARREST Agenda, focusing on agriculture, roads, rule of law, education, sanitation, and tourism at the heart of national development; while also prioritizing other key areas such as: mining, energy and technology.

As part of the broader diplomatic apparatus of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Liberia’s central institution for foreign relations, global policy coordination, and international cooperation, the Office plays a catalytic role in mobilizing U.S.-Liberia economic partnerships that serve the national interest while reinforcing global prosperity and shared democratic values.
