PANews reported on February 22 that, according to Jinshi News, U.S. Trade Representative Greer stated on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday that agreements reached between the U.S. and countries such as the EU and South Korea remain valid. He attempted to distinguish these agreements from the 15% global tariffs announced by Trump on Saturday. Greer said, "We want them to understand that these deals will be successful. We will fully support these deals. We also expect our partners to fully support these deals." He also stated that other U.S. trade tools, including the ability to investigate the trade practices of other countries, will provide the U.S. with an advantage. He spoke with EU officials this weekend and will also communicate with officials from other major U.S. trading partners to convey reassurance.
