Trump Selects Jamieson Greer as U.S. Trade Representative for Second Term

Greer, a veteran of Trump's first administration, is set to lead trade policy as the president-elect plans sweeping tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico.

• Jamieson Greer, former chief of staff to Trump’s first-term trade representative Robert Lighthizer, has been nominated as U.S. Trade Representative for the incoming administration.
• Trump has proposed new tariffs, including a 25% tax on imports from Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% on Chinese goods, raising concerns of a potential global trade war.
• Greer’s previous experience includes implementing Section 301 duties on China and negotiating the replacement of NAFTA with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
• Critics warn that the sweeping tariffs could harm key U.S. industries such as agriculture, auto manufacturing, and crude oil, while supporters emphasize the need to address trade deficits and dependency on China.
• If confirmed by the Senate in January, Greer will play a key role in executing Trump’s ambitious trade agenda, which includes reducing reliance on China and reshaping U.S. trade relationships.
