Trump selects Jamieson Greer as US trade representative

US President-elect Donald Trump tapped attorney Jamieson Greer on Tuesday to serve as the US Trade Representative, a pick that will play an important role in the Republican's agenda to remake the international trading environment through tariffs.

"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," Trump said in a statement.
