USTR Greer Says Trump Weighs 90-Day Extension on Trade Talks

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on 29 July that a 90-day extension is among the options President Donald Trump is weighing as negotiations continue on outstanding trade matters. Greer’s brief remarks did not specify which deadlines could be pushed back or outline the conditions for any extension. Greer added that no final decision has been taken and declined to detail the administration’s broader strategy or the likelihood that Trump will sign off on the additional three months. The comment signals the White House is still deliberating how to maintain leverage while giving negotiators more time to reach a comprehensive accord.
