Greer will be responsible for pursuing U.S.-international trade agreements that align with President Trump's agenda to support American jobs and bolster supply chain resilience, which includes boosting domestic manufacturing and industrial jobs and diversifying sources for essential goods and reducing dependence on foreign suppliers.
Greer also noted he would seek to balance U.S. trade with countries like Vietnam, which has a trade surplus in the country, to "have better reciprocity."
