Trump Administration Plans to Stick With Tariffs, Trade Representative Says
Jamieson Greer, the president’s top trade negotiator, told the Senate that the United States remained intent on tariffs as it prepared to replace duties the Supreme Court struck down.
The Trump administration intends to keep using tariffs as a central part of its trade strategy, even as it prepares to replace duties that the Supreme Court has struck down, according to testimony from Jamieson Greer, the president’s top trade negotiator.
Greer told the Senate that the United States remains committed to tariffs, signaling that the administration does not plan to step away from the broader approach that has defined its trade policy. The remarks came as officials look for ways to adjust duties that have been invalidated by the court.
The comments suggest the administration is still working to preserve pressure on foreign trading partners while navigating the legal limits imposed by the ruling. Greer’s testimony offered one of the clearest public indications that tariff use is likely to continue, rather than be scaled back, even if the specific measures at issue must be rewritten.
