Jamieson Greer, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. Trade Representative, testified before the Senate Finance Committee, outlining Trump's trade agenda. However, senators expressed concerns about Trump's unpredictable trade policies. Trump's protectionist approach, involving heavy taxes on foreign goods, aims to create good-paying jobs in the U.S. by encouraging domestic production and sales. Trump's trade strategy has been characterized as chaotic, with sudden tariff announcements and subsequent reversals. Last week, Trump signed orders imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico, America's largest trading partners, but then granted them a 30-day reprieve after their leaders agreed to address undocumented immigration and fentanyl trafficking. Trump's tariffs have drawn criticism from economists and politicians who argue they will disrupt trade, increase consumer prices, and harm American businesses. Democrats and others have criticized Trump's impulsive and unpredictable approach to trade policy, particularly his targeting of long-standing allies. Greer defended Trump's universal tariff proposal, suggesting it could help reduce America's trade deficits. Greer, a veteran of Trump's first-term trade battles, served as chief of staff to former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer. During his tenure, Greer participated in the U.S.-China trade war and the renegotiation of the North American trade agreement (USMCA)
