According to CNBC, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is set to speak with CNBC's Squawk Box on Thursday morning as tariff controversy intensifies following Democrats' midterm election gains. Trump's controversial tariff policies, including Section 301 duties and 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, face legal challenges and Democratic opposition ahead of their taking control of Congress.
Axios reported that Greer was present in a White House Situation Room meeting last Thursday when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pressed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over delayed export controls on Megaspeed, the company at the center of an Nvidia CEO scandal. Greer and other Cabinet officials supported the controls, though Lutnick has continued to delay implementation.
