WASHINGTON — In the squabbling Trump White House, no insider is ever above rebuke and no one blacklisted beyond redemption. From the presidential campaign, Navarro made the leap to the new administration to head a new White House National Trade Council. The president and the combative Navarro share the same hard-line views on trade that were a centerpiece of Trump’s campaign. “Peter speaks the same language as Trump does on these issues,” said Stephen Moore, a former Trump campaign adviser who is now a visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation. Navarro had limited contact with Trump world until early in the campaign, when Kushner was drawn to his book, “Death by China,” while researching China policy.
