Trump taps China hawk who went to prison, unnerving some on Wall Street
Posted on 12/04/2024
PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that Peter Navarro, a combative China hawk and stalwart loyalist, will return to the White House as a senior adviser, empowering one of the most aggressive proponents of tariffs in Trump’s orbit.
In a social media post, Trump said Navarro would serve as his “senior counselor for trade and manufacturing” in his second administration. Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison for his refusal to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, and frequently clashed with Democrats, other Trump aides and even Cabinet officials during Trump’s first presidency.
