USTR to Unveil Section 301 Probe Results in Weeks as 25% Brazil Tariffs Stay Nuanced

Summary
Jamieson Greer said the U.S. Trade Representative will release results from several Section 301 trade investigations over the coming weeks, signaling more trade actions from the Trump administration.
Greer said the proposed 25% tariffs on Brazil are "quite nuanced" because they include broad exclusions for beef, coffee, metals, energy and other goods.
On CNBC, he defended the tariff program as a tool to boost U.S. exports and said substantial duties are needed to counter what he called persistent unfair trade practices.
He also tied the coming actions to the administration's effort to shrink what he described as a giant U.S. trade deficit, pointing to a wider push for tougher trade enforcement.
