Two days after US President Donald Trump announced a mutual tariff on almost all countries, including American colleagues, there is a question on everyone’s mind: who can go against, should the extreme remedy fail to achieve anticipated results?
Politico, citing several sources in the White House, stated that all this could eventually be parked at the door of American Secretary Howard Lutynik.
If tariffs cause economic damage, political trouble or public backlash, the Trump administration can avoid direct responsibility and may be Mr. Lutnik “Gir Man”, the report states.
Former CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, Mr. Lutnik, “is a new voice on the table that is pushing the crazy sh*T,” said a person familiar with the situation. “I don’t know anyone is not angry at him.”
That economic policy is also involved in discussion and business issues. The 63 -year -old helped Trump’s administration to create some trade and economic strategies, including tariffs.
Mr. Lutnik said that Tariff will “generate revenue” despite a possible market accident warning or even a recession warning.
A source close to Trump’s team told Politician That he was not only supporting the strategy, but also for high tariffs.
On Wednesday, Trump declared a national economic emergency and imposed mutual tariffs on almost all countries, including 54 percent on China, the highest among all countries, the European Union, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan and India.
The White House remains optimistic about harsh measures, which Trump was launched on “liberation day”.
“Every member of the Trump administration is tied up for leveling the playground for American industries and workers,” spokesperson Kush Desai told Politico, the President has “the best and talented business team” in modern American history.
Mr. Desai said that he was difficult to work after President Trump’s playbook – to distribute to American people.
