101 - The U.S. Trade Representative

United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has been active in recent days addressing key trade issues. On April 13, Morgan Lewis reported that the Office of the United States Trade Representative launched expansive Section 301 investigations announced on March 12. These target structural excess capacity in manufacturing sectors across economies like China, the European Union, Japan, India, Mexico, and others. A separate probe examines whether 60 top import source countries failed to enforce bans on goods made with forced labor. Public comments are due by April 15 at 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time, with hearings set to start April 28 for the forced labor case.

Greer toured manufacturing plants in Michigan and Ohio last week, according to a United States Trade Representative press release on April 13. He met blue-collar workers, a labor union, and industry leaders at sites including a drone facility and the worlds largest washing machine plant. Greer highlighted President Trumps tariff program for revitalizing the industrial base, reshoring production, raising wages, and spurring United States investment. He stated manufacturing plants fuel local economies and support workers families. Headlines from The Blade, Fox News, CNBC, Reuters, Politico, and The Detroit News covered Whirlpool announcing a 60 million dollar Perrysburg Ohio factory expansion adding 150 jobs, and manufacturing job growth.

On April 14, Claims Journal quoted Greer saying technology restrictions will block Chinese carmakers from the United States market for the foreseeable future. Speaking at a Stellantis plant in Michigan, he noted rules on connected vehicle technology from foreign entities of concern create steep barriers, with no changes expected.

Inside US Trade reported on April 14 that critics call these new Section 301 duties a sham to replace invalidated tariffs. Businesses face risks to supply chains in steel, autos, semiconductors, batteries, chemicals, and machinery, prompting calls to assess exposure and join proceedings.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer recently wrapped up a national manufacturing tour, highlighting gains in American production and wages. According to Fox News, Greer shared on My View with Lara Trump that Americans are making more and getting paid more, crediting tariffs and the Trump administrations relationship with China.

Politico reports Greer brushed off economic fears amid surging energy prices and inflation hitting its highest in two years in March. He touted the administrations commitment to tariffs as a tool to protect U.S. businesses from cheap overseas goods and build domestic supply chains. Despite a Supreme Court ruling in February deeming some 2025 tariffs unconstitutional, followed by a quick 10 percent tariff under new authority, Greer told Midwest workers and CEOs the plan is working. We are dedicated to this, were dedicated to American manufacturing, he said. Were not going to let politics get in the way.

On China policy, Dexter Roberts Substack notes Greer stated Washington aims to resolve the rare earths issue before President Trumps May visit to Beijing for talks with Xi Jinping. The White House wants to avoid massive confrontation and plans a Board of Trade to manage the economic relationship.

Challenges persist. Indepth News details a submission by Learning Resources CEO Richard Woldenberg to USTR, challenging Section 301 investigations into structural excess capacity in 16 economies. Filed after the Supreme Courts Learning Resources decision struck down some tariffs, it argues using trade surpluses as evidence of unfair practices violates procedural limits, with Congress holding taxing power. Public comments close April 15, hearings start May 5, targeting tariffs around July 24.

Anadolu Agency reports Greer criticized Canadas procurement policy as a trade irritant, prompting Prime Minister Mark Carney to vow ending reliance on U.S. military spending, prioritizing Canadian materials.

Greer remains focused on industrial rebirth through bold trade measures.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has been actively shaping American trade policy across multiple fronts this week. According to reports from Fox News, Greer recently completed a national manufacturing tour where he highlighted that Americans are making more and getting paid more to do it, underscoring the administration's focus on domestic economic growth and manufacturing competitiveness.

On the China front, the White House is preparing for significant diplomatic engagement. A Substack analysis reports that Washington wants to resolve the rare earths issue before Trump meets with Xi Jinping for talks in Beijing in May. Greer emphasized that the administration aims to avoid a massive confrontation during these meetings. Additionally, the U.S. plans to establish a Board of Trade to manage the economic relationship with China going forward.

The USMCA trade agreement is also receiving attention. Real Agriculture reports that Greer recently stated the July 1 deadline for the USMCA review is likely to be met, signaling confidence in ongoing North American trade negotiations.

In South Asia, Greer has been engaging with multiple nations. According to reporting from Pakistan's media, Greer met with Pakistani officials to further strengthen bilateral economic cooperation and discuss support for Pakistan's reform efforts.

Perhaps most notably, Greer spoke positively about India's role in global trade diversification. According to DD News On Air, Greer described India as a viable option for U.S. companies seeking to diversify away from China, noting the country's manufacturing capacity and workforce strength. Regarding the India-U.S. interim trade agreement, Greer expressed optimism, stating that India is really committed and has started expanding its commitments with respect to purchases. He noted that India has already rolled back some of the digital services tax and is moving to reduce tariffs. Greer called this a really important deal that will reverberate for many years to come.

These developments reflect a Trade Representative actively managing complex relationships with major trading partners while promoting American manufacturing and economic interests globally.

Ambassador Jamieson Greer, the United States Trade Representative, has been at the center of several key trade developments in recent days. On April 2, 2026, the Trump administration issued proclamations adjusting tariffs on derivative products containing steel, aluminum, and copper, with changes effective April 6. Brownfield Ag News reports that most such products now face a 25 percent tariff on their full value, replacing the prior 50 percent on metal content alone. JD Supra notes this shift increases tariffs for many items while lowering them for metal-intensive ones, and introduces a 15 percent rate through 2027 for certain industrial and electrical grid equipment to boost United States manufacturing. The Secretary of Commerce and Greer now hold joint authority to add new products to these tariffs without prior processes.

Greer also addressed the upcoming July 1 review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Brownfield Ag News quotes him saying changes are needed due to enforcement gaps, particularly with Canada, while progress has been made with Mexico. He advocates separate protocols for each country to tackle non-tariff barriers.

Following the World Trade Organization's 14th Ministerial Conference in late March, Greer published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, calling the organization ineffective and dysfunctional. The United States Trade Representative's office and Washington Trade and Tariff Letter highlight his criticism of its failure to address trade imbalances, digital tariffs, and unfair practices, asserting the United States will pursue bilateral and unilateral paths to protect workers.

Today, April 9, the United States envoy to India announced on X a highly productive meeting with Greer, paving the way for an Indian delegation to visit Washington this month to finalize a trade deal, per Hindustan Times.

These moves underscore Greer's focus on reciprocal trade and national security.
