Trade representative nominee defends Trump tariffs in committee hearing
Fox News
Jamieson Greer previously served as the chief of staff to the trade representative during President Donald Trump's first administration.
"At the same time, we saw countries like the United Kingdom lowering their tariff rates and actually falling out of industrial competitiveness," Greer said to lawmakers. Diana Stancy is a politics reporter with Fox News Digital covering the White House.
Greer also called for bolstering the U.S. manufacturing base, claiming that trade policy has major ramifications on economic and national security issues.
"If the United States does not have a robust manufacturing base and innovation economy, it will have little in the way of hard power to deter conflict and protect Americans," Greer said. "Trade policy can play an important role in ensuring that we have the economic security that leads to strong national security. I am convinced that we have a relatively short window of time to restructure the international trade system to better serve U.S. interests."
