Former President Donald Trump plans to name Jamieson Greer, a seasoned trade lawyer, as his pick for U.S. Trade Representative, according to sources familiar with the matter. Greer, who previously served as Chief of Staff at the U.S. Trade Representative’s office under the Trump administration, is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping trade policies if Trump secures another term.
The choice of Greer underscores Trump’s intent to reinforce his “America First” trade agenda, which marked his first presidency. With a deep understanding of international trade disputes and negotiation strategies, Greer’s appointment signals a potential return to hardline stances on tariffs and bilateral trade agreements. This decision could also set the stage for intensified trade talks with major global economies, especially China, should Trump return to the White House.
