US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that the US will honor tariff caps in trade deals with the EU, Japan, and others, despite ongoing investigations into forced labor products and unfair trade practices. South Korea faces a potential 12.5% tariff.
USTR Jamieson Greer defended Trump's tariff policy in an IMF article, citing South Korea's rise as a "steelmaking powerhouse" and criticizing foreign government intervention. Greer questioned free trade principles, arguing that scale economies and government intervention create trade imbalances.
The U.S. Trade Representative's office will release findings from trade investigations into over 70 countries, including South Korea, China, and Japan, in the coming weeks. These probes, under Section 301, target unfair trade practices and forced labor, potentially leading to new tariffs.
The U.S. Trade Representative's Office will host the G20 trade ministers' meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Sept. 30-Oct. 1 to discuss forced labor, excess capacity, and trade issues.
