WASHINGTON, USA – Today, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) submitted the 2025 National Trade Estimate (NTE) to President Trump and Congress. The NTE is an annual report detailing foreign trade barriers faced by US exporters and USTR’s efforts to reduce those barriers.
“No American president in modern history has recognized the wide-ranging and harmful foreign trade barriers American exporters face more than president Trump,” said ambassador Greer. “Under his leadership, this administration is working diligently to address these unfair and non-reciprocal practices, helping restore fairness and put hardworking American businesses and workers first in the global market.”
The findings of the 2025 NTE underscore president Trump’s America First Trade Policy and the President’s 2025 Trade Policy Agenda.

The NTE is an annual report due to the President and Congress by March 31 of each year. USTR works closely with other government agencies and US embassies and solicits comments from the public through a Federal Register Notice to prepare the NTE.
The annual report is submitted in accordance with Section 181 of the Trade Act of 1974, as added by Section 303 of the Trade and Tariff Act of 1984 and amended by Section 1304 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, Section 311 of the Uruguay Round Trade Agreements Act, and Section 1202 of the Internet Tax Freedom Act.
