US Trade Rep Greer Reshapes Global Trade Policy Amid Tariff Reviews and Regional Negotiations

United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has been active in recent high-level trade talks amid global tensions. According to the Seoul Economic Daily, Deputy Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo met with Greer in Washington, where both sides agreed to convene the Korea-United States Free Trade Agreement Joint Committee soon to stabilize trade amid uncertainties. This follows South Korean Trade Minister Kim Jung-kwan's discussions with US officials, securing indications that Korea will avoid further tariff hikes if it passes investment legislation next week. Fibre2Fashion reports that Greer and Mexican Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard announced the launch of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement review process, with the first bilateral talks set for the week of March 16. The discussions aim to reduce reliance on non-regional imports, strengthen rules of origin, and bolster North American supply chains ahead of a full review later this year. The India Tribune states that Greer is leading Section 301 investigations into unfair trade practices, targeting most major partners, as the US shifts from struck-down emergency tariffs to new duties under Section 122, starting at 10 percent and rising to 15 percent. US Customs and Border Protection is developing a streamlined refund system for the roughly 166 billion dollars collected, potentially ready in 45 days with minimal importer submissions. CBS News notes Greer's attendance at President Trump's Shield of the Americas summit in Florida, alongside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and others. The event focused on countering Latin American cartels, with Trump proclaiming a new coalition and urging military action, while emphasizing US dominance against Chinese influence in the hemisphere. These moves highlight Greer's role in reshaping US trade policy under pressure from court rulings, regional alliances, and geopolitical strains. Thank you for tuning in, listeners.
