TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's appointment of Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary raises questions about the future role of Robert Lighthizer, Trump's former trade chief known for his aggressive tariff policies. Lutnick is set to oversee the trade agenda, potentially sidelining Lighthizer, who was instrumental in shaping Trump's first-term trade policies. This move has sparked debate over whether Trump will pursue the protectionist trade measures he campaigned on, and whether Lighthizer will secure a significant role in the administration.
