WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) today praised President Trump’s announcement of Peter Navarro’s return to the White House as Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing. Peter Navarro played a key role in the first Trump administration in advancing pro-American trade policies and leveling the playing field for U.S. industry. His return signals a serious commitment to prioritizing American manufacturing and economic independence.
“President Trump’s decision to appoint Peter Navarro as Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing makes it clear that he is absolutely serious about implementing the trade and tariff agenda he campaigned on, and that he started successfully during his first term,” said Zach Mottl, Chairman of CPA. “Navarro has been a tireless advocate for American workers and domestic industry. His return signals a bold commitment to restoring America’s industrial base and advancing ‘Buy American, Hire American’ policies. During Trump’s first term, Navarro was instrumental in renegotiating unfair trade deals and implementing tariffs to level the playing field for U.S. producers. We are confident that, in this role, Navarro will continue to fight for policies that protect American jobs, reduce our dependency on adversarial nations like China, and build a stronger, more self-reliant U.S. economy.”
During Trump’s first term, Navarro was instrumental in enforcing tariffs to counter unfair trade practices and promoting policies that placed American workers and industries first. The return of Navarro underscores the incoming Trump administration’s continued focus on creating high-quality American jobs, reducing the U.S.’s reliance on adversarial nations like China, and advancing economic security through strategic trade and tariff measures.
CPA has long supported trade policies that prioritize American industries, national security, and broadly-shared prosperity. Navarro’s expertise and unwavering commitment to these goals makes him an ideal choice to help President Trump deliver on his vision for a renewed American manufacturing renaissance.
