Trump Nominates Jamieson Greer as U.S. Trade Representative

President-elect Donald Trump nominated Jamieson Greer to serve as the United States Trade Representative (USTR), a key position that will influence U.S. trade policy. The announcement, made on Tuesday, November 26th, follows Trump’s intention to intensify trade relations, particularly with China, Mexico, and Canada, after pledging to implement new tariffs on goods from these countries.

“Jamieson will focus the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on reining in the country’s massive trade deficit, defending American manufacturing, agriculture, and services, and opening up export markets everywhere,” Trump said in a statement. Greer, who previously served as Chief of Staff to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer during Trump’s first term, played a key role in implementing tariffs on China to address unfair trade practices and in renegotiating NAFTA, resulting in the USMCA agreement.

Greer’s nomination is viewed as a continuation of Trump’s trade policy. In his first term, Trump imposed tariffs on billions of dollars worth of goods from China, aiming to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. and challenge trade practices he criticized as harmful to American industries. His new trade representative is expected to continue these efforts, further challenging China’s trade practices and defending U.S. economic interests.

The nomination follows Trump’s recent threats to impose new tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico. Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada, and a 10% increase on Chinese imports. These tariff hikes are part of Trump’s stated strategy to encourage U.S. consumers to buy American-made products by making imports more expensive, which could have far-reaching consequences for businesses and consumers alike.

Trump views tariffs as a tool to level the playing field for American industries, stating that tariffs are a straightforward tax paid by domestic U.S. firms to the government. However, economists have raised concerns that these tariff hikes could lead to higher consumer costs, a promise Trump made to reduce during his campaign.

Greer, a native of Paradise, California, is also a U.S. Air Force veteran and a current partner at the law firm King & Spalding, where he focuses on international trade. His appointment to USTR is expected to be a critical element of Trump’s plan to overhaul U.S. trade policies in his second term.
