Rotorua MP Todd McClay hosted the visitors on a visit to Skyline Rotorua as Minister of Trade, saying he would hold a formal discussion about trade deals, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and trade relations in general.
"Obviously we need to let the new President settle into office and put his new Administration in place," Mr McClay said.
"America is our number one importer of beef and wine and their visitor numbers are increasing, they are very big spenders ... so it's important to secure trade deals in the near future.
"No doubt there will be a new trade deal but it will take time to see what form that will take," Mr McClay said.
The group were in a relaxed mood and said while there were political differences among them they could all share a few laughs.
"We are getting delightful insights from New Zealanders about their hesitations and anxieties, and also their hopes with the new Administration," Ms Hagan said.
Mr Saphier said the broad goal of the visit was to provide cultural exchange and foster meaningful relationships into the future.
"That's definitely been our experience so far," he said.
They said travelling together was also a great way to understand each other and their own political ideologies.
The group also visited Waiotapu and Hobbiton in Matamata and will make their way to Wellington and the South Island in the next few days.
