Trump Appoints Greer and Hassett to Key Economic Roles
TL;DR
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Jamieson Greer as the U.S. Trade Representative, a key position in his administration's trade policy agenda. Greer, who previously served as chief of staff to USTR Robert Lighthizer, played a significant role in implementing tariffs on China and renegotiating NAFTA into the USMCA. If confirmed by the Senate, Greer will focus on reducing the trade deficit and expanding export markets. Trump's selection of Howard Lutnick as commerce secretary will also influence trade policy.
