WASHINGTON – United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer delivered President Trump’s 2026 Trade Policy Agenda and 2025 Annual Report to Congress. The Trump Administration is doubling down on the America First Trade Policy in 2026 to capitalize on the wins from 2025 and keep momentum going for American workers, their families, and the U.S. economy. The 2025 Annual Report offers a comprehensive account of USTR’s actions to support President Trump’s trade agenda, including negotiations with key trading partners to protect U.S. jobs and expand market access for U.S. exporters.

“President Trump continues to flip the script on forty years of non-reciprocal trade practices and harmful globalist policies, eliminating long-standing barriers and strengthening our workers’ competitiveness,” said Ambassador Greer. “American farmers, ranchers, and producers are already reaping the benefits of President Trump’s America First approach, with domestic production scaling up and new markets opening for U.S. exports abroad. This year’s Trade Policy Agenda outlines how the Administration will capitalize off the success from the past year, advancing the prosperity of Americans today and the generations to follow.”
