Trump Scarily Tilts Toward Peter Navarro

President Trump appears to be tilting toward hard-line trade advisers as he weighs imposing new tariffs on an array of imported goods — defying warnings from fellow Republicans and risking large costs to the U.S. economy. Trump is expected soon to name hard-liner Peter Navarro as an assistant to the president, a senior post that will afford him greater access to the Oval Office and direct input on pending trade decisions involving South Korea, Mexico, Canada and China, according to four people familiar with the matter. “To me, this signals it's going to be a case of more, not less, when it comes to tariffs on all fronts,” said Dan Ujczo, a trade lawyer at Dickinson Wright.
