Trump Unveils Key Economic and Trade Appointments Amid Tariff Threats

US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Jamieson Greer as his trade representative, following threats to impose new tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico to address issues like illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Greer, a trade lawyer and veteran of Trump's first term, played a key role in past trade negotiations and tariffs, particularly with China. His appointment aligns with Trump's policy of encouraging American manufacturing by making imports more expensive. The move has prompted concerns from the affected countries about potential economic impacts.
