USA - Tariffs: Trade agreements "will continue to apply"

The U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer affirmed that trade agreements with the EU, China, and other nations will remain in place despite the Supreme Court's decision overturning some of the tariffs implemented by former President Donald Trump.

In a recent interview, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that trade agreements established with the European Union, China, and other countries will still remain effective following the Supreme Court's ruling that invalidated certain 'reciprocal' tariffs put in place by former President Donald Trump. Greer emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of these trade pacts and expressed confidence that all parties involved would adhere to the agreements. He reiterated the U.S. commitment to uphold these deals for mutual benefit.

Greer highlighted the active discussions taking place with U.S. trade partners to reinforce the validity of these agreements. He reassured that the U.S. aims to foster a cooperative trading environment and that these pacts are designed to ensure equitable trade practices moving forward. The remarks come in light of ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China, particularly concerning compliance with trade commitments.

Furthermore, Greer addressed the upcoming meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in April, clarifying that the focus of their discussion would not be to confront trade transactions, but rather to ensure stability and adherence to agreed terms. This reflects the U.S. administration’s approach to navigate complex trade relationships while striving for reliable partnerships in international trade.
