President-elect Trump has reappointed Peter Navarro, a former trade adviser and recent inmate for contempt of Congress, as Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing. Trump praised Navarro's past contributions to trade policy, particularly his advocacy for tariffs and protectionist measures. Navarro previously refused to comply with the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot, leading to his conviction. His new role aims to advance the Trump Manufacturing and Trade Agendas, amidst broader cabinet announcements from Trump following his presidential victory.
