Kudlow gets White House Economic Adviser gig
Washington Post: Trump taps Kudlow as top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow, a conservative economic media analyst and Trump campaign adviser, championed the president's plan to cut taxes. But Kudlow recently criticized Trump's moves to add tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. He’ll replace Gary Cohn, who recently resigned. I like Kudlow. I think he will give good advice to grow the economy. He probably had a lot of input into Trump's original cut plan. Like Kudlow, I have reservations about the tariff plans, but it is looking like they are part of a negotiating strategy to get concessions on trade. It is a way to attack trading partners like the EU which are using unfair trade practices to block US goods. It will also probably be used to get US concessions on NAFTA.
