Trump taps Jamieson Greer as US trade representative to ramp up tariff plans - Channel News Asia

Quick Summary:

Greer's views on China are firmly aligned with both Trump and Lighthizer and on the need for strong actions against China to counter its state-driven efforts to dominate global industries and protect US jobs and industries.

Trump got off to an early start on specific tariff plans, vowing on Monday to impose duties of 25 per cent on imports from Mexico and Canada and 10 per cent on Chinese goods unless they halt flows of the deadly opioid fentanyl and illegal migrants into the US.

"Jamieson will focus the Office of the US 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.
