China is sending Vice Commerce Minister Li Chenggang to Washington for a high-level meeting with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, according to the Straits Times. The talks will take place amid ongoing recalibrations of U.S. trade policy toward China, following recent tariff decisions that have reshaped how goods enter the American market. Just last week, the White House announced a new agreement between the United States and China that will introduce a framework to reduce Chinese tariffs, eliminate retaliatory measures, and retain a baseline tariff on Chinese products. According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, since May, the United States has ended duty-free treatment for low-value packages from China, imposing a steep fifty-four percent tariff, although that rate is lower than the one hundred twenty percent rate previously in force earlier this year.

The trade deal also covers Section Two Thirty Two tariffs, which affect UK automobile exports to America, and reflects a new willingness to negotiate sector-specific trade unions focused on steel and aluminum. U.S. officials say this approach is designed to set the stage for more balanced agreements across other regions. According to InsideTrade, the Commerce Department recently reinstated hundreds of tariff lines for aluminum and steel derivatives based on national security grounds. Brazil has responded to newly imposed tariffs by requesting official consultations at the World Trade Organization, although the United States argues that its measures are exempt from review due to security considerations.

Australia has also reacted strongly to new U.S. tariffs. After the Trump administration imposed a ten percent tariff on Australian exports, Jamieson Greer stated to the Senate Finance Committee that the United States should “run up the score on Australia” as part of an effort to balance larger global deficits. The Council on Foreign Relations notes that these comments and the broader tariff measures have contributed to political shifts in Australia, with the Labor Party achieving recent electoral gains in part by opposing increasing U.S. trade pressure.

French shipping operator CMA CGM, meanwhile, has made operational adjustments to minimize the financial impact of the new U.S. tariffs affecting Chinese-built vessels. Trade policy under Jamieson Greer’s leadership is widely characterized as assertive and unilateral, as outlined in a recent opinion piece attributed to Greer in the New York Times, emphasizing an aggressive new direction designed to assert American trade interests on a global stage.
