‘It’s all about Trump’s tariffs’: Asia flocks to US trade official

Quick Summary:

JEJU — The gathering of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) trade ministers is usually a staid meeting, but this year it offered more intrigue and urgency as countries throughout the region scrambled to engage the United States in talks before a 90-day pause on punishing tariffs expires in July.

While many Asian countries have sent delegations to Washington, Britain, one of the few countries that buys more from the United States than it sells and was not subject to the reciprocal tariffs, is the only trading partner that has reached an agreement with the Trump administration so far.

The main attraction at the meeting was Jamieson Greer, the US Trade Representative and one of the two main negotiators who reached an agreement for a temporary truce on tariffs with China last weekend.
