“US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will travel to Geneva, Switzerland later this week. Ambassador Greer will meet with USTR staff at the USTR Mission to the World Trade Organization.”
“He will also meet with President Karin Keller-Sutter of Switzerland to discuss negotiations about reciprocal trade. ‘At President Trump’s direction, I am negotiating with countries to rebalance our trade relations to achieve reciprocity, open new markets, and protect America’s economic and national security,’ said Ambassador Greer. ‘I look forward to having productive meetings with some of my counterparts as well as visiting with my team in Geneva who all work diligently to advance US interests on a range of multilateral issues.’ While in Switzerland, Ambassador Greer will also meet with his counterpart from the People’s Republic of China to discuss trade matters” says the Office of the US Trade Representative with the mention of the ChiCom guy seemingly an afterthought.
Meanwhile CNN reports the first cargo ships with Chinese products subject to the 145 percent tariff on exports are arriving on the West Coast half-full, so “expect shortages soon” says the network.
