Bloomberg Talks
US Trade Rep. Greer Talks 15% Tariff, USMCA, EU Trade Deal

We have some that have higher at 15%.

Bloomberg Talks
US Trade Rep. Greer Talks 15% Tariff, USMCA, EU Trade Deal

And so our goal with all of this is to have continuity.

Bloomberg Talks
US Trade Rep. Greer Talks 15% Tariff, USMCA, EU Trade Deal

So we want to have the 10% and we're looking about how to implement the 15% that the president indicated because we want to have continuity.

Bloomberg Talks
US Trade Rep. Greer Talks 15% Tariff, USMCA, EU Trade Deal

We want the countries, we want the companies, we want people to understand that what we were doing before, we're going to reconstruct with alternative tools because we want to keep going, maintain the policy.

We'll just have a change in the legal implementing authority.

Bloomberg Talks
US Trade Rep. Greer Talks 15% Tariff, USMCA, EU Trade Deal

So we'll put out a supplemental proclamation that the president will sign going to 15% where appropriate.

Bloomberg Talks
US Trade Rep. Greer Talks 15% Tariff, USMCA, EU Trade Deal

Remember, before the Supreme Court struck down the tariffs, a lot of these countries had agreed to have tariffs, U.S.

tariffs on them of 18%, 19%, 20%.

Bloomberg Talks
US Trade Rep. Greer Talks 15% Tariff, USMCA, EU Trade Deal

So going up to 15%.

For them, at least temporarily, it's better than the deal that they had.

And so the president wants to make sure, again, that we have continuity in this process, that folks who acknowledge they had giant trade surpluses with us, they had unfair trading practices affecting their trade, and who agreed to pay the tariff, that they actually are in a position to do it until we can get the more durable and long-lasting measures in place.

Oh, it'll be in coming days.

Bloomberg Talks
US Trade Rep. Greer Talks 15% Tariff, USMCA, EU Trade Deal

It's soon, right?

Bloomberg Talks

I mean, the president put out this direction, to your point, and so all of that is in development.

Bloomberg Talks
US Trade Rep. Greer Talks 15% Tariff, USMCA, EU Trade Deal

So that will be soon.

Bloomberg Talks

Again, the idea is to establish a through line from the policy that the president has implemented successfully over the past year and continue it over this 150 days and as we build up appropriate terror freights using other investigations and means.

So...

Bloomberg Talks

So I've been in constant contact with my counterparts in Brussels, the UK, and elsewhere.

Bloomberg Talks

And the way to think about this is every country has domestic procedures that they need to go through to come into compliance with a deal.

With Brussels, we gave them a good rate on cars.
