U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Sunday that electronic products recently exempted from President Donald Trump’s sweeping reciprocal tariffs may still be subject to new duties—just under a different framework.
In an interview with CBS’ Face the Nation, Greer clarified that the exemptions reflect a strategic shift from reciprocal tariffs to national security-based measures. “We have to be much more deliberate about the semiconductor supply chain,” he said, highlighting that ongoing investigations could lead to future tariffs on electronics, pharmaceuticals, metals, and other critical sectors.
Greer added that the move to the national security tariff regime requires formal reviews before duties are implemented. Despite the change in legal basis, the risk of tariffs on exempted goods remains. He also expressed confidence that the U.S. would secure meaningful tariff agreements with several countries in the coming weeks.
Greer noted there are currently no plans for President Trump to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
