United States Trade Representative

🚨 President Trump is delivering for our rice farmers, locking in deals and opening new markets for American-grown rice. While in Sacramento, I spoke with third-generation rice farmer, Charley Mathews, Jr., about how tariffs are protecting our growers while eliminating long-standing barriers to boost the global competitiveness of American rice. The Trump Administration will continue to champion American farmers who feed our nation and the world.

Over a dozen Democrat Attorneys General pushed for tariff refunds to go to the “importers of record,” including foreign-owned firms.   This can result in funds going to foreign corporate balance sheets rather than our own American workers and businesses.

Since 1964, the United States has applied a 25% tariff on pickups, enabling U.S. automakers to perfect their model while boosting their global competitiveness.

From autos and aluminum to copper and steel, many of President Trump’s tariffs remain in full effect, incentivizing companies to reshore jobs and production back to American soil.

.@USTradeRep Ambassador Greer: "At a certain point, after discussing this with our European colleagues over many, many months, @POTUS decided that if the Europeans aren’t implementing the deal right now, then we don’t have to implement all of it either at this time."

.@USTradeRep Ambassador Greer says he expects his office to wrap up investigations into unfair trading practices this Summer: "At that time, @POTUS will be able to assess whether those problems require a reaction in the forms of tariffs or otherwise."

America is BUILDING, INVESTING & GROWING AGAIN 🇺🇸

American manufacturing is BACK under President Trump — with brand new data showing the manufacturing sector expanding for the fourth straight month.

Yesterday, Ambassador Greer joined CEO and Executive Director of @SilveradoPolicy, @SarahStewartDC, to discuss how @POTUS’ tariff program is advancing the prosperity of Americans today and the generations to follow, securing trade deals to eliminate long-standing barriers while promoting and protecting American workers and industries.

🔥 For the FOURTH month in a row, America’s manufacturing sector continues to expand based on the latest survey data. There is no greater champion for American manufacturers than President Trump.

This morning, in our talks with Vice Premier He Lifeng, @SecScottBessent and I highlighted the role that a new government-to-government Board of Trade could play in optimizing bilateral trade in non-sensitive goods, and the importance of agricultural market access in China for U.S. producers. I look forward to a successful visit.

🚨 .@POTUS’ policies are fast-tracking America’s reindustrialization, shifting U.S. imports toward high-value capital goods.

Business investment is BOOMING under @POTUS' leadership, with non-residential investment rising to the highest annualized rate since 2023.

The Trump Administration is using the enforcement tools necessary to counter unfair trade practices targeting American innovators and creators. Today, USTR released its 2026 Special 301 Report on the effectiveness of U.S. trading partners’ protection and enforcement of IP rights, identifying Vietnam as a Priority Foreign Country and placing 25 countries on the Priority Watch List or Watch List. ustr.gov/about/policy-o…

President Trump’s policies are fueling America’s manufacturing comeback: U.S. core capital goods orders continued to rise in March, marking the largest increase since mid-2020.

Big day today! @USDA focused on one thing: putting American agriculture back on top globally.     For too long, American producers were locked out of global markets while costs skyrocketed at home.     That’s changing. Fast.     Thanks to @POTUS, @USTradeRep, and @USDAForeignAg:   ✔️Nearly two dozen new trade deals and frameworks secured  ✔️Major market access wins in the EU, UK, Japan, & Southeast Asia  ✔️New doors opened for pork, corn, dairy, tree nuts, ethanol, & more  ✔️Forecasted Ag trade deficit slashed 42%  ✔️Double-digit growth in U.S. ag exports    And we’re not stopping there.    Today started with a APAC/ATAC meeting with @USDAForeignAg. Followed by a roundtable discussion with industry leaders focused on what’s next: expanding access, strengthening partnerships, and making sure American producers can compete and WIN anywhere in the world.     Because this isn’t just about trade.   It’s about national security.   It’s about our food supply.   And it’s about protecting the future of American agriculture. 🇺🇸

The United States and European Union are taking important steps to enhance the resilience of our critical minerals supply chain, laying the groundwork for a binding plurilateral agreement supported by price floors. Read the Action Plan: ustr.gov/about/policy-o…

If these blew your mind, we’ve got more. Check out the full 2026 National Trade Estimate Report for hundreds more outrageous, silly, and alarming trade barriers facing American exporters. ustr.gov/about/policy-o…

10/10: Within the European Union, the term “feta” can only be used for cheese produced in Greece, since the EU claims that certain cheese terms are connected to specific places in Europe. However, there is no specific place named “Feta” in Europe! And the EU forces other countries to follow this same nonsensical rule. This locks American producers out of key markets merely for using certain cheese terms.

🚨🤯 Craziest Foreign Trade Barriers Facing American Exporters 1/10: You wouldn’t believe the lengths some countries go to stop American exports! In Costa Rica, customs inspectors manually squish black and red beans between their fingers to test how fast they cook and block sales of U.S. dry beans if they don’t pass this ludicrous test. You can’t even make this stuff up! Read the below thread for more off-the-wall examples.
