Washington, D.C. – In a monumental announcement that hints at the enduring commitment to the “America First” agenda, President Donald J. Trump has named Dr. Peter Navarro, a cornerstone of the MAGA movement and author of The New MAGA Deal, as his Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing. The news, hailed by WarRoom host Steve Bannon on Wednesday as "some of the best I’ve ever heard,” signals a bold return to prioritizing American workers and revitalizing U.S. manufacturing.
President Trump’s announcement has sent ripples through the political world, from Washington, D.C., to Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran, where foreign capitals are undoubtedly taking note of this pivotal move. Navarro’s appointment brings to the forefront a seasoned economist, renowned author, and tireless advocate for American workers, with a mission to ensure the U.S. regains its manufacturing might and levels the playing field in global trade.
President Trump’s Vision and Praise for Navarro
In his Truth Social statement, President Trump described Navarro as "one of the most effective and tenacious advocates” of the MAGA agenda during his first term. Trump commended Navarro’s instrumental role in renegotiating trade deals like NAFTA and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement and implementing tariffs that protected American industries from unfair foreign practices.
"Peter is not just a Harvard-trained economist; he’s a fighter for the American people,” Trump declared. "He helped us enforce my two sacred rules: Buy American, Hire American. As Senior Counselor, he will leverage his extensive experience to advance and communicate our manufacturing, tariff, and trade agendas.”
This appointment comes as a clear message to global competitors and domestic skeptics alike: the Trump administration is doubling down on its promise to bring jobs back to America and make U.S. manufacturing the gold standard of the world economy.
A Win for American Workers
WarRoom’s Steve Bannon praised Navarro as a man who "always puts the American worker first.” Bannon highlighted Navarro’s unwavering commitment to ensuring every policy aligns with the interests of the blue-collar backbone of the nation.
"Peter’s guiding star has always been the American worker,” Bannon said. "He’s tough, smart, and kind—a big-hearted fighter who would rather face prison than buckle to the Deep State or Nancy Pelosi. That’s the kind of resolve we need to truly make America great again.”
Navarro’s track record speaks for itself: from imposing tariffs on China that protected U.S. steel and aluminum industries to crafting trade policies that strengthened domestic supply chains, his expertise has consistently delivered results for American families.
A New Chapter in the MAGA Revolution
This appointment is part of a broader effort by President Trump to assemble a powerhouse team ahead of what is shaping up to be a critical term for the MAGA agenda. According to Bannon, more announcements are expected as members of the WarRoom community and other stalwarts of the movement prepare to step into key roles across agencies, departments, and possibly international posts.
"We are proud to see our people step up for their country,” Bannon said. "Peter Navarro exemplifies what it means to sacrifice for the American people. He’s tough as nails, but he’s also a visionary leader who understands the importance of keeping American manufacturing as our guiding star.”
The Cutting Edge of Change
This announcement resonates deeply with the WarRoom audience, a community that has long championed the principles of economic nationalism and trade fairness. It marks not just a personal victory for Navarro but a renewed commitment to the ideals that define the MAGA movement.
The appointment of Peter Navarro as Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing is more than just a political move—it’s a rallying cry for all who believe in the promise of American greatness. With Navarro at the helm, the American worker has a champion in the highest corridors of power.
As Bannon so aptly put it, "Know now, in Washington and across the capitals of the world, that the MAGA movement is on the cutting edge. And this is only the beginning.”
