The National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) has strongly endorsed the Senate confirmation of Jamieson Greer as the next US Trade Representative (USTR), highlighting his role in tackling trade challenges.

NCTO President and CEO Kim Glas emphasized the urgency of addressing predatory trade practices that have contributed to 27 US textile plant closures in the past 20 months. She expressed optimism about working with Greer and the Trump administration to strengthen domestic manufacturing and the US - Western Hemisphere supply chain.

Glas also called for ending the de minimis trade provision, which allows 4 million packages daily to enter the US unchecked, often containing harmful or illicit goods. She stressed that Greer’s leadership is crucial in advancing policies that protect US textile jobs and manufacturing.

“Jamieson is an exceptional choice for USTR, and we look forward to collaborating on policies that expand the textile sector,” Glas stated.

Greer’s Senate confirmation is expected soon, marking a significant step for the US textile industry amid ongoing economic pressures.
