U.S. Trade Representative Outlines Ongoing Trade Policies and Negotiations


Listen Later

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has been actively involved in recent trade discussions and policy developments. Greer recently spoke at the Economic Club of New York, discussing the administration's trade policies, including tariffs and reshoring U.S. manufacturing. He emphasized that tariffs will remain a part of U.S. trade policy, even amid potential court rulings. Additionally, Greer noted that the U.S. is maintaining an average tariff of about 55% on Chinese imports, aiming for more balanced trade relations with China.

In another development, Greer has criticized Mexico for not fully complying with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), citing issues in energy, telecommunications, and agriculture. He expressed that it does not make sense to discuss extending or updating the agreement until Mexico complies better. Conversations with Mexican officials are ongoing to resolve these compliance issues.

Greer also engaged in discussions with India, where both countries are negotiating a bilateral trade agreement. Despite challenges such as the U.S. government shutdown, India and the U.S. aim to conclude the first tranche of the pact by the end of 2025. The goal is to increase bilateral trade to USD 500 billion by 2030.
