Donald Trump has appointed Peter Navarro, a former White House official, as his “Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing.” Navarro, who previously served as the director of the office of trade and manufacturing policy, will be instrumental in shaping the U.S. trade agenda. While the specifics of Navarro’s role and its relation to other trade offices remain unclear, Trump emphasized his experience and skills in advancing manufacturing and tariff policies. Navarro’s appointment follows a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress related to the January 6 Capitol attack investigation.
