  • Trump Administration Announces 2026 Trade Policy Agenda with Tariff Enforcement and USMCA Renegotiation Plans

    Trump Administration Announces 2026 Trade Policy Agenda with Tariff Enforcement and USMCA Renegotiation Plans
    Mar 3 2026
    United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has been active in recent days, delivering key updates on trade policy and enforcement. On March 3, according to AgriAmerica news, Greer announced President Trump's 2026 Trade Policy Agenda and the 2025 Annual Report to Congress. This agenda outlines plans to reduce foreign tariffs and non-tariff barriers, enforce reciprocal trade deals, and launch new investigations into unfair practices, as reported by Grainews.

    Greer provided a clear timeline during a White House meeting between Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Investing dot com reports that the United States will complete multiple trade probes within five months under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act. These investigations target unfair trading practices to protect United States economic security and enable new tariffs, replacing those invalidated by a Supreme Court ruling on February 20.

    The agenda also addresses the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, known as CUSMA, seeking improvements in rules of origin and handling investment from non-market economies. It aims to balance trade with China, finalize deals with countries like the European Union, India, Japan, and others, and bring supply chains for critical minerals, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals back to the United States. Grainews details these priorities, including evaluations for new Section 301 probes on global overcapacity, seafood abuses, and digital services taxes.

    Industry groups, led by the National Foreign Trade Council, urged Greer in a recent letter to extend the trilateral USMCA with stakeholder input to avoid supply chain disruptions and maintain North American competitiveness.

    Additionally, the United States Trade Representative office released the 2025 Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy. Greer highlighted risks from counterfeit merchandise and illicit sports streaming ahead of the FIFA World Cup, calling for international cooperation on intellectual property protections. The list identifies 37 online and 32 physical markets involved in these issues.

    These moves signal a focused push for fair trade and enforcement amid global uncertainties.

  • Trump Administration Shifts Tariff Strategy After Supreme Court Ruling, Raises Rates to 15 Percent

    Trump Administration Shifts Tariff Strategy After Supreme Court Ruling, Raises Rates to 15 Percent
    Feb 26 2026
    US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has been actively reshaping American trade policy following a Supreme Court ruling that struck down previous tariff authority. Speaking this week on Bloomberg Television and other outlets, Greer outlined the administration's strategy to maintain trade enforcement while adapting to new legal constraints.

    The Trump administration initially implemented a baseline ten percent tariff on most countries last week, but Greer indicated a supplemental proclamation will raise rates to fifteen percent where appropriate in the coming days. This transition reflects the administration's pivot to alternative legal authorities after the Supreme Court invalidated the previous emergency power used to impose tariffs. Greer emphasized that the goal is continuity in trade policy while shifting to different legal mechanisms for implementation.

    The administration is preparing to use Section 301 investigations to target unfair trading practices by individual countries. These investigations will examine issues including forced labor in supply chains, industrial overcapacity, unfair fishing practices, and subsidies on products like rice. This approach allows the administration to negotiate directly with countries while maintaining enforcement tools through tariff threats.

    Canada and Mexico remain focal points for trade negotiations. Canadian and US trade officials spoke this week, with plans for Canadian representatives to visit Washington in a couple of weeks. Greer expressed openness to Canadian proposals while emphasizing concerns that China could use Canada as a backdoor to circumvent tariffs. He noted that Canada is currently paying the lowest price for market access and that the administration wants to address gaps in USMCA, particularly regarding automobile manufacturing and reshoring of production to the United States.

    Regarding the broader trade agenda, Greer pointed to data showing the trade deficit in goods decreased seventeen percent from April through December twenty twenty five. The administration cited announcements from manufacturers like GE, which committed three billion dollars in new investments and one thousand jobs across multiple states, as evidence the trade policy is working.

    The administration is also developing a plurilateral agreement on critical minerals with like-minded trading partners, seeking public comment through March nineteenth on mechanisms including price floors and tariffs to build what officials describe as a resilient and non distorted marketplace.
