U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to Discuss Tariff Policies and Export Controls
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is scheduled to appear on CNBC's 'Squawk Box' amid rising political pressure regarding President Trump's tariff policies. Following recent midterm elections, Democrats are expected to challenge existing Section 301 duties and Canadian import tariffs in Congress. Meanwhile, Greer’s office is investigating foreign manufacturing excess capacity, a move that could trigger further trade restrictions. The discussion also touches on internal administration tensions regarding export controls. Reports suggest a debate within the White House involving Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick concerning potential restrictions on Megaspeed. While President Trump has signaled support for these controls, implementation remains delayed by the Commerce Department.
