Lutnick could be fired over tariff policy

United States Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick could lose his position over the chaos caused by the Trump administration's economic policy, Politico reported on Tuesday. Lutnick has been a strong proponent of tariffs and has advised President Donald Trump on the matter.

However, according to a previous Politico report, Trump's allies and administration officials are "growing increasingly frustrated" with Lutnick, accusing him of misunderstanding how tariffs work and occasionally "contradicting" Trump's messaging. A career businessman, Lutnick has no experience holding public office and was not involved in Trump's first administration.
