In his 2025 annual financial disclosure, U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer reported assets ranging from $1.17 million to $3.75 million, including a notable increase in cash holdings. His salary and bonus from King & Spalding amounted to $652,610 in 2025, with an anticipated performance-based bonus from 2024 valued between $250,001 and $500,000.

The disclosure highlights a significant jump in his cash account, which increased from a range of $250,001-$500,000 to $500,001-$1 million, generating interest income of $15,001-$50,000.

Additionally, Greer's previous connection to Coupang, which paid him a $10,000 honorarium in May 2024, raises ethical concerns, especially as he participated in trade discussions with the company shortly after joining the administration.

His commitment to avoid matters involving former clients for one year, unless cleared by ethics officials, adds complexity to his role in trade negotiations involving Coupang, which has faced scrutiny from U.S. investors. The lack of clarity on whether Coupang was treated as a former client under this commitment leaves open questions about potential conflicts of interest in Greer's dealings
