US Trade Representative Greer Tours Michigan and Ohio Manufacturing Plants to Promote American Jobs and Trade Policy

Ambassador Jamieson Greer, the United States Trade Representative, plans visits to manufacturing sites in Michigan and Ohio on April 9 and 10. The United States Trade Representative office announced on April 6 that Greer will tour facilities like Atomic Industries in Warren, Michigan, a drone production site, and Stellantis Warren Truck Assembly Plant. He will also visit Swarm Defense Technologies in Auburn Hills, Michigan, before heading to First Solar Manufacturing and Research and Development Campus in Walbridge, Ohio, and Whirlpool Clyde Plant. During these stops, Greer aims to meet workers and executives to highlight how trade policies boost American jobs, wages, and production. Recent changes to Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum, and copper took effect April 6, following a presidential proclamation on April 2. The United States Trade Representative and Commerce Department now hold authority to add derivative products to these tariffs if imports threaten national security, as noted in updates from legal analyses like JD Supra and Troutman Pepper. Tariffs apply to the full value of imports, with rates up to 50 percent for metal-heavy items. Greer also oversees two major Section 301 investigations launched in March. One targets forced labor in production across 60 countries, with public hearings set for April 28 at the United States International Trade Commission. The other probes excess capacity in 16 nations, including Bangladesh, to protect United States industry. The La Communis reports Greer stated American workers should not compete against goods made with forced labor advantages. Today, Greer speaks at a Hudson Institute event on trade policy, per Politico Morning Money. These moves align with efforts to strengthen domestic manufacturing amid global trade shifts.
