The team of President-elect Donald Trump is preparing an announcement on the appointment of Jamison Greer to the post of U.S. Trade Representative. This was reported by Bloomberg on November 27, citing interlocutors.

It is specified that if approved by the Senate, Greer, who heads the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, will be responsible for the implementation of tariff policy and negotiations on trade agreements.

In addition, the agency recalled that Greer was directly involved in Trump's trade policy decisions in his first term, including high duties for China.

On this day, Bloomberg reported on the possible appointment of Kevin Hassett as head of the White House National Economic Council. The agency noted that under Trump, the official supported the policy of imposing additional customs tariffs.

Prior to that, on November 23, Trump proposed the candidacy of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for the post of US Justice Secretary. The president-elect also noted Bondi's work to stop drug trafficking and reduce the number of drug-related deaths.

On Nov. 20, Trump nominated former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to be the U.S. permanent representative to NATO. He called Whitaker a strong warrior and dedicated patriot and said he would "put America first."

At the time, Trump also proposed nominating Linda McMahon, who led the U.S. Small Business Administration during Trump's first term in office, as the nation's Secretary of Education. McMahon could have headed the U.S. Department of Commerce, but investor and billionaire Howard Lutnick was nominated for the post.

The election for the 47th president of the United States was held on November 5. In the national vote, Trump received 51% of the vote, while the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris received 47.4%. Later, the politician, speaking to supporters, called himself the 47th President of the United States and said that his goal as head of state considers the end of military conflicts in the world.
