Over the past week, Jamieson Greer has taken center stage in major trade developments as the U.S. Trade Representative. Greer has been leading critical talks in Brussels with European Union officials following a two-month pause in negotiations. According to reports from Fox News and international news agencies, the discussions have focused on assessing the progress of a sweeping deal made earlier this year, where the European Union agreed to eliminate tariffs on ninety-nine percent of industrial goods imported from the United States and expand access for American agricultural products. Greer has confirmed that European lawmakers have started the legislative process to implement those commitments and emphasized that the current phase is about ensuring full follow-through before exploring any new arrangements.

Greer also highlighted persistent sticking points, particularly non-tariff barriers that restrict U.S. goods in European markets. These issues, which involve complex regulations and standards beyond tariffs, remain a challenge even as formal import duties fall. He has pressed for reciprocal trade benefits, pointing out that the United States faces a longstanding annual trade deficit with the European Union, which sends two hundred forty billion dollars more in goods to the U.S. than it receives.

A headline-grabbing proposal emerged from these negotiations: President Trump’s floated plan to issue two-thousand dollar payments to American households funded by tariff revenues. Greer addressed this on Fox and Friends Weekend, explaining that this would be a one-time payment, not a recurring welfare program, and dismissed concerns about it fueling inflation. He stated this is real money coming into the Treasury and that American families are likely to welcome the financial relief, but he does not see it as affecting the broader macroeconomic picture. According to the Treasury Department, tariff revenues reached two hundred fifteen billion dollars in fiscal year twenty twenty-five, with over forty billion already collected in fiscal year twenty twenty-six. Trump has indicated these funds could begin reaching Americans by next year and has suggested that any surplus may also help address the national debt.

These developments are unfolding while the Supreme Court reviews the legality of President Trump’s broader trade measures, a decision that could shape the future direction of U.S. trade policy. Greer said that he is focused on making sure the July trade pact is fully enforced and that American businesses and workers receive the promised benefits, while also remaining open to future discussions with European partners.
