Trump will explain tariffs on electronics on Monday

Some Republican members of the House Ways and Means Committee pressed U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on what is the administration’s game plan with its sweeping tariffs that went into effect.

“Now there's this discussion about be doing some trade deals. What does that mean? What is that process?” Florida Rep. Vern Buchanan asked Greer.

Greer responded that Trump is open to negotiating with countries that want "reciprocal" trade and to reduce deficits. Buchanan followed up by pressing for more details on the process going forward, which Greer didn't directly answer but said some long-term negotiations with other countries “might require, you know, congressional action.”

Greer added that he had meetings on Tuesday with his counterparts from the European Union, South Korea, Ecuador, and Mexico.

President Donald Trump told Republican lawmakers on Tuesday night that pharmaceuticals imports will soon be hit with "major" tariffs. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer was asked on Wednesday by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, if that was true.

"He said he will impose them, now the extent of that is subject to investigation," Greer said.

The White House is putting together a relief plan to support out American farmers "if necessary," Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in an interview Wednesday

"The President has our farmers' and our ranchers' backs, just as in the first term. We are already putting together — if necessary, we're hopeful not necessary, but if necessary — a package that can mitigate a lot of that damage, if not all of it," Rollins told News Nation without any further details.

"But that is a long-term question. We really won't know the full impact for months to come," she added.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is again tasked with defending President Donald Trump's tariff policy as he testifies for the second time in as many days on Capitol Hill. He is currently appearing before the House Ways and Means Committee.

"This adjustment might be challenging at times," Greer said in his opening statement. "This is a moment of drastic and overdue change but I'm confident that the American people will rise to the occasion as they have before. I trust them. I trust that they can do this."
