Mark Warner was interviewed by BNN, CBC and Bloomberg TV Canada about President Elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert Lighthizer to be the next United States Trade Representative (“USTR“) and what it means for Canada. (January 3 & 4, 2017) While Trump’s choice of USTR and Chair of the National Trade Council are protectionists by reputation, he has also put pro-trade choices to lead the Treasury Department, State Department, Office of Management and Budget, Council of Economic Advisers and Vice-President, and his Commerce Secretary, although like Lighthizer with a background in the steel industry, has been supportive of trade in the past.  “Trumpian” trade policy may be more complex than simple pro or con. What is taking shape looks a lot like 1980s Reagan era free trade policy: tough enforcement; focus on market access; and trade and monetary policy integration.
