BlockBeats News, February 22 — U.S. Trade Representative Grier stated on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday that the agreements the U.S. has reached with the EU, South Korea, and other countries are still valid. He attempted to distinguish these agreements from the 15% global tariff zone plan announced by Trump on Saturday. Grier said, “We want them to understand that these deals will be successful deals. We will fully support these deals. We also expect our partners to fully support these deals.”
He also mentioned that other trade tools used by the U.S., including investigations into the trade practices of other countries, will give the U.S. an advantage. He spoke with officials from the EU this weekend and will also communicate with officials from other major U.S. trade partners to convey reassuring messages. (Jin10)
