“Wilbur Ross, Donald Trump’s pick to be Commerce secretary, signed a letter in support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal in 2015,” CNN reports.

“Since then, Ross has emerged as a vocal critic of trade deals… Ross has made other statements in conflict with Donald Trump in recent years, including the assertion jobs would never come back to the United States from China.”

Donald Trump will name Wilbur Ross as commerce secretary, the Wall Street Journal reports.

“For some, the 79-year-old New Jersey native was nothing short of a savior of the steel industry–someone willing to risk his money to save thousands of jobs. For others, he was a vulture who cut jobs and pensions, and forced pain on a once-proud industry.”

“Wilbur Ross, the billionaire investor considered the ‘king of bankruptcy’ for buying beaten-down companies with the potential to deliver profits, is expected to be President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for commerce secretary,” the Washington Post reports.

“Ross helped shape the Trump campaign’s economic agenda, particularly its hard-line stance on the need to renegotiate — or withdraw from — free trade agreements. Trump’s advisers have been split on that issue, which some economists warn could spark a damaging trade war, but Ross’s nationalist views are considered in line with the president-elect’s own.”

Meanwhile, Politico reports Trump is likely to tap Todd Ricketts, the co-owner of the Chicago Cubs and a member of the powerful conservative Ricketts family, to be deputy secretary of commerce.
