Listeners, the office of United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has been in the spotlight over the past few days as trade tensions and new regulations shape key American industries.

Mississippi Today reports that the entire Mississippi congressional delegation, Democrats and Republicans together, recently sent a letter to Jamieson Greer raising alarms about new European Union rules on deforestation free products. According to Mississippi Today, the delegation warned that the European policy could severely disrupt exports of southern timber, paper, and wood products by imposing complex traceability and land use requirements on American producers. They urged Greer to challenge what they describe as discriminatory barriers and to push Brussels for more flexible rules that recognize existing United States conservation practices.

This Mississippi letter adds to growing pressure on Greer to defend American agriculture and resource based industries in multiple arenas at once. RFD TV reports that in recent months Greer has opened a formal review of Chinas compliance with the Phase One trade agreement, focusing in particular on missed purchase commitments for American farm goods. According to RFD TV, Greer has signaled that any new deal with China may end up narrower in scope, adding fresh uncertainty for commodity markets that have been whipsawed by changing expectations for Chinese buying.

Farm groups are watching closely. The American Farm Bureau Federation told RFD TV that China remains a critical market for United States producers, but emphasized that Beijing has fallen short of commitments on both volumes and non tariff barriers. They say they support Greers decision to investigate potentially unfair practices, while also urging his office to preserve access for soybeans, sorghum, and other exports that depend on Chinese demand.

At the same time, Transport Topics reports that Greer has been highlighting Chinas recent soybean purchases, saying that Beijing has moved roughly a third of the way toward its current season commitment. Speaking on national television, he stressed that his office is closely monitoring every line of the agreement and that verification of Chinese compliance remains a daily task.

Taken together, these developments show Jamieson Greer navigating intense cross pressures. On one front, he faces European environmental rules that United States lawmakers fear will shut out American wood and paper products. On another, he must balance tough enforcement of Chinese obligations with the need to keep critical export markets open for farmers and ranchers.
