USW and NAWG Welcome Confirmation of Jamieson Greer as U.S. Trade Representative

U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) and the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) welcome the U.S. Senate’s confirmation of Jamieson Greer to fill the position of U.S. Trade Representative.

Both organizations are pleased with Greer’s past work in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. As chief of staff for former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Greer was involved in many important trade negotiations, including those that led to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

“We are pleased to see an appointment who has extensive experience advocating for U.S. farmers, and someone who is aware of trade barriers facing U.S. agriculture,” said USW President Vince Peterson. “We look forward to working with Mr. Greer to open new markets and grow existing markets for U.S. wheat.”

“With over 50 percent of U.S. wheat heading to overseas markets, trade is a major priority for wheat growers. NAWG looks forward to working with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to promote free trade and expand export markets for our nation’s producers,” said NAWG CEO Chandler Goule.
