United States Trade Representative

From the initial design and manufacturing to deployment in chip fabrication facilities worldwide, @Applied4Tech is employing Americans and advancing U.S. superiority in the semiconductor industry by manufacturing cutting-edge equipment, systems, and tools.

UNLEASHING DRONE DOMINANCE: @POTUS’ economic policies are strengthening our domestic drone sector. From a small startup to the largest U.S. drone manufacturer by volume, @SkydioHQ continues to expand its domestic manufacturing footprint, investing $3.5 billion to accelerate R&D, creating U.S. manufacturing jobs, and enhancing American supply chains.

Semiconductors are essential for America’s economic and industrial strengthen. Speaking at the Barclays Semiconductor Board and CEO Summit, Ambassador Greer joined @BarclaysCIB’s Shawn Golhar to dicuss how @POTUS’ policies are boosting domestic production of semiconductors while reducing our reliance on foreign sources.

America's economic and national security depend on our ability to manufacture advanced technologies at scale on our soil. This afternoon, Ambassador Greer met with companies and small businesses benefitting from NextFlex bringing together material suppliers, equipment providers, and universities to enhance our supply chain for next-generation electronics. Thank you @SBA_Kelly for connecting USTR with the NextFlex team!

Building cars in America drives innovation and fuels domestic supply chains. In Fremont, California, Ambassador Greer toured @Tesla’s manufacturing hub for Model 3, Model Y, and advanced robotics, which rolls out hundreds of thousands of American-made vehicles and supports tens of thousands of jobs.

This morning, Ambassador Greer joined a roundtable with @HooverInst Fellows led by Secretary @CondoleezzaRice on how @POTUS is using tariffs and trade deals to eliminate trade barriers and bring jobs and critical industries back home.

While the Post’s Editorial Board may give a pass to foreign countries turning a blind eye to forced labor abroad, President Trump will continue to fight against slavery in global supply chains. Read Ambassador Greer’s full letter to the @washingtonpost: ustr.gov/about/policy-o…

Thanks to the Made in America agenda, wage growth remains strong in manufacturing and construction, especially for nonsupervisory workers: 💰 $2,067+ for manufacturing 💰 $2,948+ for construction

ALL-TIME HIGH 📈 America registered a record-breaking $219.5 billion in goods exports, with industrial supplies and materials reaching $89 billion and capital goods surpassing $70 billion.

🚨Since Liberation Day, the U.S. trade deficit in goods and services dropped 32% relative to the previous 12 months.

This week, Ambassador Greer will travel to California to tour advanced manufacturing plants, from the largest U.S. drone manufacturer to an automotive production facility, to highlight the Trump Administration’s work to onshore jobs and production lines. ustr.gov/about/policy-o…

The Trump Administration is leaving no stone unturned to help accelerate investment across the critical minerals supply chain-from mining to processing to manufacturing-to reduce dependence on non-market suppliers and help strengthen our economic security.

The United States cut its trade deficit in goods with China by more than 30% in just one year. Balanced trade in non-sensitive goods will help drive that progress even further.

American companies shouldn't be held back by burdensome European Union regulations. In the Turnberry Agreement, the EU committed to addressing non-tariff barriers, including the deforestation rule and laws about LNG. The United States expects those commitments to be met.

The President's trade agenda hasn't changed. The Administration continues combatting unfair trading practices from our trading partners to lower our massive trade deficit, secure our supply chains, and put American workers first.

For the third month in a row, President Trump continues to shatter economists’ expectations, adding 172k jobs in May and 25k manufacturing jobs in 2026.

Thank you, French Trade Minister @N_Forissier, for hosting the USTR delegation at the French National Assembly!

🧀 American cheesemakers, who support 58,000 jobs, are reaping the benefits of “grater” market access with U.S. cheese exports up 21% in 2025 compared to the previous year.   Thanks to @POTUS’ dealmaking, nine foreign governments committed to NOT restrict U.S. products labeled with common cheese terms.   Happy Cheese Day!

At the @OECD in Paris, where the Ministerial Council Meeting underscored what the United States has been saying for many years and is now implementing: economic security is national security, supply chain resilience matters, and a strong industrial base where our workers have opportunities for upward mobility and manufacturing is a healthy share of GDP is imperative. USTR appreciates the OECD’s strong work tracking China’s industrial subsidies and the unfair disadvantages they create.

President Trump’s trade program is driving results and the data proves it: 📉 Trade deficit dropped 25% YoY since Liberation Day 🏭 Net positive manufacturing job growth in Q1 🚀 U.S. exports exceed $300 billion in every reported month this year
