Navarro responds to Musk and Trump's dispute: just a temporary employee, does not agree with his criticism of tariffs
ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data reports, U.S. President Trump's trade advisor Navarro believes that the public discord between Trump and Musk is trivial. He said Musk is just "a special government employee who will leave when his time is up." Navarro stated, "People in the White House come and go."
Navarro implied that Musk's criticism of Trump's domestic policy agenda is unfounded and directly countered concerns about the plan from the outside. Navarro also criticized Musk's long-standing opposition to tariffs, which are central to Trump's trade policy. "Musk doesn't like tariffs, that's all," he said, noting that Musk has "clearly stated" this since Trump's first term. Navarro added, "We can have differences on this issue, but I just want to say that during my first term, all those who said tariffs would lead to economic recession and inflation were clearly very wrong."
