WASHINGTON – Last week, Ambassador Jamieson Greer traveled across Michigan and Ohio to tour manufacturing plants, ranging from a drone production facility to the world’s largest washing machine plant. While walking the factory floor, Ambassador Greer met with blue-collar workers, a labor union, and industry leaders to discuss how President Trump’s tariff program is revitalizing our industrial base, reshoring production lines, raising wages, and spurring investment in the United States.

WASHINGTON – After returning from the World Trade Organization’s 14th Ministerial Conference, Ambassador Jamieson Greer published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal outlining the WTO’s repeated failure to address trade imbalances and how the United States is driving reform on trade globally to eliminate non-reciprocal practices and protect American workers and businesses.

WASHINGTON — Today, United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick issued the following statements announcing an arrangement on pharmaceutical pricing between the United States and the United Kingdom.

WASHINGTON – One year ago, President Trump used tariffs to protect American workers and bring the world to the negotiating table. The President’s trade program is addressing decades of non-reciprocal trade practices that have undermined America’s global competitiveness. Tariffs and trade deals are delivering tangible results for American workers and their families, decreasing our trade deficit, securing trade deals, reshoring production lines, and putting money back in American workers’ pockets.
