Peter Navarro has been appointed by President-elect Donald Trump as Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing in his upcoming administration.

Navarro, who previously served as Director of the U.S. Office of Trade & Manufacturing, will focus on advancing Trump's manufacturing, tariff, and trade agendas.

This announcement follows Navarro's recent release from prison, where he served a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress related to the January 6 Capitol riot investigation.

Trump criticized the treatment Navarro received and praised him as a strong advocate for his policies, particularly the principles of "Buy American, Hire American."

Navarro has been a vocal supporter of Trump's protectionist trade stance, emphasizing tariffs and skepticism towards globalist trade agreements.

His return to a prominent role in the administration signals a continued commitment to these economic policies as the new term approaches.
