President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Peter Navarro will be rejoining his administration as his senior counselor for Trade and Manufacturing.
Navarro was a former trade adviser to Trump in his first administration. He previously served four months in federal prison after he failed to comply with a Jan. 6 Committee subpoena, instead invoking executive privilege to decline to testify and turn over documents to the committee. Trump wrote Wednesday in a Truth Social post that Navarro has been treated “horribly by the Deep State” and will help advance his agenda in a second administration.
“The Senior Counselor position leverages Peter’s broad range of White House experience, while harnessing his extensive Policy analytic and Media skills. His mission will be to help successfully advance and communicate the Trump Manufacturing, Tariff, and Trade Agendas,” Trump wrote.
“Peter is not just a superb, Harvard-trained Economist, he is a noted author of more than a dozen bestselling books on strategic business management and unfair Trade. He did a superb job for the American People in my First Term. Peter will do even better as Senior Counselor to protect American Workers, and truly Make American Manufacturing Great Again,” he continued.
