Jamieson Greer

Jamieson Greer serves as the US Trade Representative under President Donald Trump. He is currently newsworthy due to his role in managing the US-China trade relationship and the US's stance towards the World Trade Organization (WTO). In the lead-up to a planned summit between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in May 2026, Greer signaled a cautious approach, ruling out a pre-summit visit to Beijing and emphasizing a stable relationship, while also seeking funds to support Trump's trade policies. Simultaneously, Greer is involved in the US's critical view of the WTO, as the organization faces challenges and criticisms, particularly from the US, regarding its effectiveness and fairness. The US has expressed its disagreement with the WTO, viewing its trade policies as a corrective response to the organization's rules. Greer's actions and statements reflect the Trump administration's "America First" trade policy and its skepticism towards multilateral trade agreements, contributing to uncertainty in the global trade landscape.
