Kaine Statement on Jamieson Greer Ahead of Confirmation Vote

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) released the following statement ahead of the Senate’s confirmation vote of Jamieson Greer to be United States Trade Representative (USTR):

“President Trump has proposed disastrous trade policies, including tariffs on our closest trading partners, which will raise costs and hurt Virginia businesses. We need a United States Trade Representative who will seek to expand markets for American exports, foster relationships with our allies, and reduce costs for American families. I don’t believe Jamieson Greer will do that, and that’s why I’m voting no on his confirmation.”
