The Foremost Group is a privately held shipping, trading, and finance enterprise based in New York City. It was founded in 1964 by Chinese-American immigrant James Si-Cheng Chao and his wife Ruth Mulan Chu Chao.[1] Its chair and CEO is Angela Chao, daughter of the company's founders.[2][3]

The company has come under scrutiny due to perceived conflicts of interest involving Elaine Chao, daughter of its founders, and her husband Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.[4][5] Additional attention has related to Elaine Chao's role as Secretary of Transportation in the administration of President Donald Trump.[6][7][8]
