In the past several days, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has maintained a central role in shaping U.S. trade policy as President Trump announced sweeping new tariffs affecting nearly all major U.S. trading partners. Speaking Friday, Greer emphasized that the administration is prepared to keep these tariffs in place even if courts rule against them, expressing strong confidence in their legal defense of the policy. InsideTrade.com reported that Greer’s office is currently focused on finalizing and implementing already-announced deals rather than reopening negotiations with countries that did not meet the President’s August first deadline to avoid these higher tariffs. Greer signaled, however, that they remain open to proposals from any nation willing to return to the table.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney voiced disappointment with the raised tariffs on Canadian goods, but he also underscored Ottawa’s commitment to continued negotiation and to upholding the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. According to InsideTrade.com, Canada’s goods now face a 35 percent tariff rate, but the country continues to seek a way forward diplomatically.

On social media, Jamieson Greer described the new tariffs as a decisive win, arguing they correct an imbalance in global trade that has disadvantaged American workers and manufacturers for decades. News9 highlights his remarks that the administration’s foreign trade policy has resulted in substantial new market access for American exporters and helped safeguard key manufacturing industries. Nonetheless, several trade experts voiced concern that these moves will extend business uncertainty, possibly drive up prices for consumer goods like clothing, toys, and appliances, and complicate supply chains.

Materials released by the White House state that the average U.S. effective tariff rate now stands at seventeen percent, the highest in decades. This could mean an estimated two thousand dollar annual increase in costs for the average American household by some analyses. Nonetheless, the White House and Greer argue these changes are justified, pointing to still-moderate inflation and a series of trade agreements unlocking markets valued at more than thirty-two trillion dollars globally.

Greer also recently commented on President Trump’s firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner Erika McEntarfer, a move that drew wider attention to the administration’s approach not only in trade but also in broader economic policy.
