Listeners the last few days have seen significant developments involving United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer across global economic discussions. In New York Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal met Jamieson Greer to continue negotiations on a possible bilateral trade agreement between the United States and India. The two officials focused on renewing trade ties and explored the scope for greater cooperation especially as both countries are working to resolve outstanding tariff and market access issues according to multiple international news sources. Observers note that both governments are aiming to finalize at least a partial agreement before year end as the discussions have intensified.

On another front Jamieson Greer is scheduled to meet South Korea’s Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo this week during the gathering of Association of Southeast Asian Nations economic ministers in Malaysia. The South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy states that these meetings are aimed at ironing out the specifics of a wider framework trade agreement that was reached in late July between the United States and South Korea. Recent progress includes the United States agreeing to reduce sectoral tariffs on Korean automobiles in exchange for significant South Korean investment commitments in the United States. However government representatives from both sides are still negotiating key financial and regulatory details, particularly the setup of a proposed currency swap and how to structure joint profits and investments. As reported by the Korea JoongAng Daily, there will be careful attention paid to handling recent bilateral visa disputes after an immigration enforcement action in Georgia affected hundreds of South Korean nationals. Concerns about restrictions on online platforms in Korea will also feature in these talks.

In a separate development South Africa has indicated a desire to expand its trade partnership with the United States. South Africa’s government released a statement confirming recent discussions with Ambassador Jamieson Greer about improving market access and job creation between the two countries. These talks are taking place as part of Washington’s emerging strategy to bolster economic ties with key African nations and to support sustainable investment in a post-pandemic global economy as reported by Eurasia Review.

Around the world policy makers and industry leaders are watching these moves by Jamieson Greer and the Office of the United States Trade Representative for signals on how the United States will shape the dynamics of global trade in the months ahead.
