SAFE congratulates U.S. Trade Representative Greer on his confirmation. His leadership comes at a crucial time as the U.S. works to strengthen energy security, restore trade balance, and maintain its global leadership.
SAFE commends U.S. Trade Representative Greer’s commitment to a pragmatic trade policy centered on rebuilding domestic manufacturing and reinforcing supply chains—critical to both economic stability and national security. His focus on addressing China’s industrial overcapacity and state subsidies, which have contributed to U.S. deindustrialization, underscores the urgency of enforcing fair trade practices. He also emphasized the need for a rigorous review of China’s compliance with trade agreements, ensuring accountability for any violations.
A strong advocate for domestic manufacturing, U.S. Trade Representative Greer supports the strategic use of tariffs to promote fair competition, open foreign markets, and reduce trade deficits. He also reaffirmed the importance of enforcing existing trade agreements to protect American industries, particularly in energy and infrastructure.
SAFE looks forward to working with U.S. Trade Representative Greer to advance responsible trade policies that drive domestic growth, strengthen supply chains, and support American businesses.
