STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
I am very pleased to nominate Jamieson Greer to serve as the United States Trade Representative (USTR). Jamieson played a key role during my First Term in imposing Tariffs on China and others to combat unfair Trade practices, and replacing the failed NAFTA deal with USMCA, therefore making it much better for American Workers. His efforts under the former USTR, Bob Lighthizer, a spectacular leader and person, helped spur the return of Manufacturing jobs to America, and reverse decades of disastrous Trade policies. Jamieson will focus the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on reining in the Country's massive Trade Deficit, defending American Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Services, and opening up Export Markets everywhere. Jamieson is currently a partner at the Law Firm of King & Spalding and, before that, served as the Chief of Staff at USTR. A native of Paradise, California, Jamieson is also a U.S. Air Force Veteran who served in Iraq, Turkey, and Stateside. Congratulations to Jamieson, his wife, Marlo, and their five beautiful children!
