Trump Appoints Key Figures for Trade and Economic Strategy

On Tuesday, Donald Trump announced significant additions to his economic team, reinforcing his commitment to an aggressive trade policy and economic growth initiatives. Jamieson Greer was appointed as the new trade representative, a position crucial for implementing Trump's economic agenda. Greer’s prior experience includes leading efforts to impose tariffs on China and other nations to combat what Trump termed "unfair trade practices," as well as playing a pivotal role in the negotiation of the US-Mexico-Canada trade deal.

Additionally, Trump named Kevin Hassett, a former economic advisor during his first term, as the head of the White House National Economic Council. Hassett's new role will involve advancing key policies, such as tax cuts and the expansion of energy production, aligning with Trump's broader economic vision.
