US trade rep says he sees ‘positive agenda with China going forward’

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Tuesday he sees potential for a positive trade agenda with China going forward, signaling a possible shift in tone after years of escalating tariffs between the two nations. Greer told Bloomberg that both countries want stability, suggesting room for negotiation on trade disputes that have defined U.S.-China relations since 2018. The comments indicate the Trump administration may be open to de-escalation or deal-making on tariffs, which have been a central focus of the administration's economic policy. Greer's remarks come as the U.S. and China remain engaged in one of the world's most consequential trade relationships, affecting everything from consumer prices to corporate supply chains. The statement could signal potential negotiations ahead, though specific terms or timelines were not detailed.
