Inside the Trump trade strategy with USTR’s Jamieson Greer

In this episode, host Juliette Matos brings you a timely conversation from December 2025 with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on the Trump administration’s trade strategy. As debate intensifies over the upcoming review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and reports suggest President Donald Trump may withdraw from the trade pact, Greer discusses whether a US withdrawal remains “on the table” and whether there’s a possibility of renegotiation.

In conversation with The Wall Street Journal’s Greg Ip, Greer also addresses tariffs, domestic manufacturing and the future of the global trading system.
