U.S. trade representative grilled about Trump's global tariff policy
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told American senators on Tuesday that President Donald Trump's administration will not change tactics on tariffs in the near term and warned that some pain for businesses will be necessary to bring home manufacturing jobs. During a sometimes tense U.S. Senate Finance Committee hearing, Greer said higher across-the-board tariff rates on 57 trading partners would go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday.
