Donald Trump is expected to name Robert Lighthizer as head of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Lighthizer served as deputy trade representative during the Reagan administration. He’s a proponent of trade tariffs and has been a vocal critic of China. Trump still has a handful of Cabinet and Cabinet-level positions to fill, including the positions of secretaries of agriculture and veterans affairs, as well as the director of national intelligence and the head of the Council of Economic Advisers. Many are also expecting Trump to try to give his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, official positions within the White House, a move that may violate anti-nepotism laws.
