Key Nominations in Trade Policy

The podcast discusses the nominations for key positions in the trade policy sector, particularly under the recent administration. Kevin Hassett will return as a prominent economic advisor, recognized for his effective communication of economic strategies. Jameson Greer, formerly chief of staff for Bob Lighthizer at the U.S. Trade Representative's office, will be nominated to be the U.S. Trade Representative himself, bringing familiarity with trade issues but also his unique background in law that may broaden his focus. Concerns are raised about the absence of Bob Lighthizer, who played a crucial role in the previous administration by ensuring that trade policies followed proper procedures and engagements with legislative bodies.
