Trump Taps Lighthizer for US Trade Chief, Peso Reacts
Donald Trump has asked Robert Lighthizer, former US trade representative known for his protectionist stance, to return to the role as Trump begins forming his cabinet. Lighthizer, who played a key role in Trump's trade war with China, is seen as a controversial choice that may unsettle US trading partners. Despite expressing interest in other positions, Lighthizer's potential reappointment signals a continuation of Trump's aggressive trade policies, including high tariffs on imports, particularly from China.
