Lighthizer shares Trump's sentiments
The WSJ has an insightful article into Robert Lighthizer and how he's steered the White House towards its battle with China on trade and tariffs.
"We want to prod the administration to line up friends and allies" to press China, said Josh Bolten, head of the Business Roundtable trade group and a former White House chief of staff for George W. Bush. "If it's just the U.S. versus China, negotiations will be confrontational. The winners may not be the international trading order but our European and Japanese competitors," which could increase sales to China.
