President-elect says Navarro, who was jailed earlier this year for contempt of Congress, will focus on tariffs
Donald Trump said he would name former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro as senior counselor for trade and manufacturing.
“I am pleased to announce that Peter Navarro, a man who was treated horribly by the Deep State, or whatever else you would like to call it, will serve as my Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing,” Trump said in a social media post. “This is not about me,” Navarro said upon turning himself into a Miami jail. He claimed his prosecution was, “an unprecedented assault on the constitutional separation of powers and the doctrine of executive privilege as a critical tool dating back to George Washington for effective presidential decision-making”.
