WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement after voting to confirm Jamieson Greer to serve as United States Trade Representative (USTR):
“West Virginia workers and businesses count on the USTR to advocate for them and secure the best deal possible around the world. Our West Virginia economy, especially in the manufacturing sector, needs someone ready to help us compete at every level in every market. I believe that Jamieson Greer is that person and holds the knowledge and skills that this position demands. I look forward to partnering with him and the Trump administration to deliver on the president’s agenda and to put West Virginia’s needs front and center,” Senator Capito said.
Senator Capito met with Greer earlier this month to discuss his nomination and learn more about his leadership vision as USTR.
