As the United States and China began talks Thursday to resolve a huge trade imbalance and avert tariffs that would hurt both countries, the Maine International Trade Center prepared for its annual meeting Friday that will focus on accessing Asian markets.

Despite the discord, Maine companies are growing throughout Asia, with the region being the state’s second-largest export partner after Canada.
