Tariff Rates ‘Pretty Much Set,’ Says US Trade Representative

Date:

US Politics

‘I would say that, in fact, most countries in the world, they just have a tariff assigned to them,’ Greer said.

President Donald Trump’s trade representative, Jamieson Greer, said that Americans should expect the administration’s tariff levels to remain where they are, even as some trading partners look to negotiate deals past a key deadline.

In an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” taped on Aug. 1 but aired on Aug. 3, Greer said he does not expect trading partners that have yet to strike deals with the United States negotiate tariffs down in the coming days.
