WASHINGTON – United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai today announced the appointment of Juan A. Millán as Acting General Counsel.
“Juan has been a proven leader through his work in the Monitoring and Enforcement unit of the Office of General Counsel and in various roles held here at USTR—his experience and expertise speak for themselves. I look forward to continuing to work with Juan in this capacity as we progress in implementing President Biden’s worker-centered trade agenda.
“I have known Greta Peisch since our first stint at USTR, as members of the General Counsel’s Office during the Obama Administration, where I encountered her exceptional intelligence, unflappable grit, strength of character, and dedicated work ethic.
“Greta has been a steady, knowledgeable, and trusted hand here at USTR, and as she moves on from her role, we are immensely grateful for her service over the past three years as our general counsel.”
