💨 Abstract

Trade Representative Jamieson Greer clarified that President Trump did not aim to reinvigorate trade with Russia by sparing Russian goods from new tariffs. Russia was excluded due to existing sanctions and trade embargoes, and doesn't enjoy "most favored nation" status. Lawmakers questioned the lack of tariffs on Russia despite substantial trade, but Greer didn't disclose his recommendation to the president on the matter.
