US Trade Representative Greer Pushes Fair Trade Framework With EU While Targeting China on Digital Practices

Jamieson Greer, the United States Trade Representative, has been active in recent trade talks. On March 3, 2026, Greer met with European Union officials in Washington to discuss strengthening transatlantic trade ties amid global supply chain issues, according to a Reuters report. The talks focused on reducing tariffs on clean energy technologies and addressing steel overcapacity from China. Greer emphasized the need for fair competition, stating that the United States seeks reciprocal market access without subsidies distorting trade. Bloomberg News covered the meeting, noting Greer's push for a new framework to boost semiconductor exports to Europe. In another development, on March 4, the USTR office under Greer announced preliminary findings in a Section 301 investigation into China's digital trade practices. The report, detailed on the official USTR website, accuses Beijing of data localization rules that disadvantage American tech firms. Greer is expected to recommend countermeasures soon. Domestically, Greer testified before the Senate Finance Committee on March 2 about enforcing the United States Mexico Canada Agreement. Politico reports he highlighted progress in labor reforms in Mexico but warned of ongoing automotive sector disputes. Greer also addressed electric vehicle battery supply chains during a virtual panel hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations on March 1. He advocated for diversifying sources away from China to secure United States manufacturing jobs. These moves signal Greer's strategy to protect American workers while pursuing targeted alliances.
