Ambassador Jamieson Greer, the United States Trade Representative, has led several key trade initiatives in the past week. On February 11, American farmers, industry leaders, and lawmakers praised President Trumps global trade deals, as noted in a United States Trade Representative press release. The day before, on February 9, Greer signed the United States-Bangladesh Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, according to the same press office.
Greer issued a statement on February 6 regarding a joint trade deal framework with India. United States Trade Representative records show this builds on recent talks, with Greer telling Fox News that many American companies are shifting operations to India to diversify supply chains from China. He highlighted Indias large workforce and manufacturing capacity as advantages, while prioritizing American workers. Mint reports the interim framework includes India reducing tariffs on United States industrial goods, agricultural products like soybean oil and wine, and committing to purchase 500 billion dollars in American products over five years. In return, the United States applies an 18 percent reciprocal tariff on select Indian exports.
Earlier, on February 5, Greer signed the United States-Argentina Agreement on Reciprocal Trade and Investment. Thompson Hine trade update states this lowers barriers for American exporters in motor vehicles and agriculture, eliminates import licensing hurdles, ensures non-discriminatory standards, and addresses unfair practices by third-country firms.
On February 4, Greer announced critical minerals cooperation with the European Union and Japan, plus a United States-Mexico action plan on the same topic, per United States Trade Representative announcements. He also discussed bilateral trade talks with Mexico and Canada on Fox Business, calling Mexico pragmatic but Canada challenging due to barriers like restrictions on United States wine and spirits, as reported by RRFN and E and E News.
These moves reflect Greers focus on reciprocal deals to boost United States exports and secure supply chains.
