Extended chat: Top US trade official defends Trump’s record

US trade representative Jamieson Greer is President Donald Trump’s top trade official. He has played a critical role in negotiations between Washington and its trading partners. This includes recent talks with Canada, whose retaliatory tariffs against the US go into effect later this week.

The FT's Aime Williams sat down with Greer for a wide-ranging interview. They covered everything from the trade war with Ottawa, friction points with the UK, to Trump’s expected meeting with China’s leader Xi Jinping later this month.
