President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Peter Navarro as a senior counsellor for trade and manufacturing in his upcoming administration, marking Navarro’s return to the White House.

Trump highlighted that Peter Navarro’s new position as senior counsellor for trade and manufacturing leverages his broad White House experience, policy analysis and media skills.

Navarro served as a trade adviser during Trump’s first term. He was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6 attack.

He was sentenced to four months in prison but described his conviction as a “partisan weaponization of the judicial system.”

After his release, Navarro spoke at the Republican National Convention in July, claiming, “I went to prison so you won’t have to.”

Trump announced that he has appointed Michael Whatley as chairman of the Republican National Committee. Whatley ran the committee during the election alongside Lara Trump, wife of Trump’s son Eric.

He also selected Daniel Driscoll as Army secretary, Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator, and Adam Boehler as special presidential envoy for hostage affairs.
