President-elect Donald Trump announced Jamieson Greer as his pick to serve as the next US trade representative.

Greer is no stranger to the role, having served as chief of staff to Robert Lighthizer, the trade representative during Trump’s first term. At the time, the administration implemented across-the-board tariffs on China and other countries, as well as signed onto the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

Trump has routinely referenced the passage of the USMCA trade agreement, which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA, as a political victory and a highlight of his presidency.

“Jamieson will focus the Office of the US Trade Representative on reining in the Country’s massive Trade Deficit, defending American Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Services, and opening up Export Markets everywhere,” Trump said in a Tuesday announcement that lauded Greer as having “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.”
