Donald Trump is beating the WAR SONG, which could result in China waking up with the house on fire.

Bloomberg has the story. Read below :

Peter Navarro, a University of California at Irvine economics professor and a frequent critic of China’s trade practices, will lead a newly formed White House National Trade Council as an assistant to President-elect Donald Trump.

The fresh set of personnel inside the White House is tasked to “advise the president on innovative strategies in trade negotiations, coordinate with other agencies to assess U.S. manufacturing capabilities and the defense industrial base, and help match unemployed workers with new opportunities in the skilled manufacturing sector,” the transition team announced in a statement Wednesday. Navarro will be “director of trade and industrial policy” and an assistant to the president.

The announcement puts in place one of the final pieces of the incoming administration’s economic policy team. Navarro was one of the leading economists on the Trump campaign, co-authoring a report on growth plans in September with Trump’s pick for Commerce Department chief, Wilbur Ross. Steven Mnuchin, the co-founder of Dune Capital Management LP, was nominated to be Treasury secretary and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. President Gary Cohn was picked to be National Economic Council director.
