COMBATING FORCED LABOR IN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS: Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer took final action, at the direction of President Trump, in the Office of the U.S.

WASHINGTON – Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer is taking final action, at President Trump’s direction, under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 by imposing tariffs on 60 economies for their failure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor.  Today’s action comes after the Office of the United States Trade Representative’s (USTR) investigations, which included two rounds of public hearings, more than 2,100 public comments, and engagement with our trading partners to remedy these longstanding concerns.

WASHINGTON — Today, Ambassador Greer issued a statement regarding the European Union's recent actions that create uncertainty in the Turnberry Agreement.

WASHINGTON — The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) today announced the country-specific and first-come, first-served in-quota allocations of the tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) on imported raw cane sugar, refined sugar, and sugar-containing products for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027).  

TRQs allow countries to export specified quantities of a product to the United States at a relatively low tariff, but subject all imports of the product above a pre-determined threshold to a higher tariff.

WASHINGTON – Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer testified before the Senate Finance Committee to lay out how President Trump is leveraging tariffs and trade deals to secure better wages and expand market access for American farmers, manufacturers, workers, and businesses. 

Thank you, Chairman Crapo and Ranking Member Wyden. We were delayed because of the all-night vote-a-rama a few months back, so I am glad we were able to reschedule. I also thank you for keeping in touch with me as USTR has prioritized our consultations with Congress during this busy time for trade policy.
