Trump Appoints Peter Navarro

Trump announced on Wednesday morning that Navarro would take on the role of Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, signaling a renewed focus on the “America First” trade policies that defined Trump’s initial presidency.

Navarro’s appointment is sure to reignite debates about tariffs, trade policy, and his controversial past, including his recent stint in federal prison.

In his announcement, Trump praised Navarro as a steadfast advocate for American workers and manufacturing. “Few were more effective or tenacious than Peter in enforcing my two sacred rules, Buy American, Hire American,” Trump stated. He lauded Navarro’s work in renegotiating trade deals like NAFTA and the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), and his quick action on tariffs.

Trump also highlighted Navarro’s qualifications, calling him a “Harvard-trained economist” and a prolific author with expertise in trade and strategic business management.

According to Trump, Navarro’s role will include advancing and communicating the administration’s manufacturing, tariff, and trade agendas—policies that aim to protect American industries and workers.
