U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said he expects President Donald Trump to sign more trade deals with countries in Southeast Asia during a trip later this year, without specifying the trading partners close to finalizing agreements.
"The president is going to do a swing through Asia at the end of October, and we expect that at that time, we’ll be able to sign some of these deals,” Greer said in an interview Tuesday on Fox Business.
The agreements Trump has already struck, including with the European Union, Japan, and South Korea, have been broad frameworks with the details to be finalized later. It was unclear if Greer was referring to previous deals or new pacts in his remarks. He added that the U.S. has already announced some high-level details of deals he expects Trump to announce.
