WASHINGTON — As president-elect Donald Trump rattles his closest neighbours with threats of tariffs, he is also firming up the team of loyalists to put his plans into action. Trump’s team to lead his trade agenda and the American economy include trade lawyers, former advisers and Wall Street executives who have all expressed favourable views of tariffs. “He’s choosing a lot of people who are going to be loyal to him and his ideas,” said Matthew Lebo, a specialist in U.S. politics at Western University in London, Ont. “And that probably will lead to a lot more volatility than even we saw in the first term.” On Tuesday evening, Trump picked Jamieson Greer to be U.S. trade representative. The president-elect said Greer played a key role in the first Trump administration imposing tariffs on China and negotiating the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement. If confirmed, Greer will oversee the trade pact’s review in 2026. “Jamieson will focus the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on reining in the country’s massive trade deficit, defending American manufacturing, agriculture, and services, and opening up export markets everywhere,” Trump said in a statement. Greer was the chief of staff to former U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer as the trilateral agreement was being crafted to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, which was torn up last time Trump entered office. Greer’s nomination came the day after Trump said he will impose a 25 per cent import tariff on goods coming from Canada and Mexico. He has also announced an additional 10 per cent tariff on goods from China. Trump said the tariffs against Canada and Mexico would remain in place until both countries stop people and drugs, in particular fentanyl, from illegally crossing the border into the U.S. A Canadian Chamber of Commerce report suggested Trump’s previous pledge to impose a 10 per cent levy would take a $30-billion bite out of the Canadian economy. More than 77 per cent of Canadian exports go to the U.S. and trade comprises 60 per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product. Some economists have warned across-the-board duties would cause inflation in the U.S., even though Trump campaigned on lowering costs for Americans. Greer was deeply involved in Trump’s original sweeping tariffs on China and subsequent negotiations on the U.S.-China Phase 1 trade agreement, online biographies say. In testimony about China’s trade agenda at a House trade subcommittee last year, Greer said he believes “good fences make good neighbours, and trade enforcement is an important part of establishing those fences.” On Tuesday, Trump also tapped Kevin Hassett to be the director of the White House National Economic Council. The role will be key in fulfilling Trump’s campaign promise to fix the U.S. economy. His announcement said Hassett will also “ensure that we have fair trade with countries that have taken advantage of the United States in the past.” Hassett served during the first Trump term as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and the president-elect has called him a “true friend.” The latest nominations round out an economic team that includes hedge fund executive Scott Bessent for Treasury secretary and Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Wall Street investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald, who was tapped for commerce secretary. If confirmed by the Senate, Lutnick would oversee a sprawling cabinet agency and Trump’s tariff agenda. He has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s tariff plans. In an CNBC interview in September he said tariffs are “an amazing tool for the president to use — we need to protect the American worker.” Lebo said as Trump prepares to return to office he is removing any person who could prove to be a guardrail or check on his power. “These are people aligned with Trump,” Lebo said. “More and more aligned with his campaign rhetoric.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2024. — With files from The Associated Press Kelly Geraldine Malone, The Canadian Press

WORDS can inspire and unite — but they can also land you in hot water. From passionate speeches and historic declarations to off-the-cuff remarks that reverberate far beyond their intended audience, the right phrase can spark movements or set social media ablaze. This year was no exception, with voices from politics, sport, entertainment and beyond leaving us with quotes that will linger long after the year ends. Who could forget how an exchange with Cork disability care worker Charlotte Fallon threatened to derail Simon Harris’ General Election hopes? Or how American white nationalist Nick Fuentes sent shockwaves around the globe after Donald Trump’s presidential win, by posting on X : “Your body, my choice.” Even Trump himself dominated headlines again this year when he stood back up after surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania and defiantly chanted: “Fight, fight, fight.” Words carry weight — they can launch careers, destroy reputations, go viral, or even alter the course of history. Here, NICOLA BARDON looks back at some of the most powerful quotes of the past year. “IT’S nice not just being looked at as the weird-looking guy, the unique feckin’ freaky little freak man-child, freak child-man, whatever you want to call it.” - Barry Keoghan on people changing their opinions of him after Saltburn, in January. “Leadership is knowing when the time has come to pass on the baton to somebody else, and then having the courage to do it. That time is now.” — Leo Varadkar steps down as Taoiseach in March. “We’re taking you out of the flames, the darkness and the smoke of the Stardust and we’re bringing you back to the sunshine, and the light and the music, and you’re coming back to us, home.” — Louise McDermott, sister of William, 22, George, 18, and Marcella, 16, who all died in the Stardust fire, after the inquest result of unlawful killing in April. “I’d really like to dedicate this to the peacemakers everywhere. Go raibh míle maith agaibh.” — Cillian Murphy after his Best Actor Oscar win for Oppenheimer in April. “As Taoiseach I want to bring new ideas, a new energy, and a new empathy to public life.” — Simon Harris, after taking the top Dail job in April. “Nobody does it like you.” — Taylor Swift to the Dublin crowd in June, during one of three sold out shows at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium. “Sometimes impossible dreams come true.” — Norah Patten after being selected as first Irish astronaut to go into space in 2026, in June. “Everybody said they wouldn’t win the All-Ireland! And they won the All-Ireland!” — Armagh selector Kieran McGeeney goes wild following the Orchard County’s first triumph in 22 years. “I’m writing myself into the history books.” — Swimmer Daniel Wiffen after winning gold in 800m freestyle at the Paris Olympic Games in July. “It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve as your president.” — Joe Biden as he announces the end of his bid for a second term as US president, in July. “It gives hope to all these young kids, all these teenagers, it gives hope to them. But this one was for me!” — Boxer Kellie Harrington after clinching second Olympic gold medal at Paris Games in August. “This is it, this is happening.” — Oasis announce they are reuniting for a tour in August after years of speculation. “It feels like a dream, it’s a dream well-earned.” — Rhys McClenaghan after winning gold at the Olympics in the pommel horse. “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” — Donald Trump during US presidential debate with Kamala Harris in September. “I have nothing to complain about here. I love the people, love the culture. There’s not a bad word I could speak about Ireland.” — New Zealand-born Ireland rugby ace Bundee Aki after receiving his Irish citizenship in September. “We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.” — One Direction statement after Liam Payne dies in October. “I’m Irish — so it’s not kind of on the list of priorities.” — Paul Mescal on how it felt to meet King Charles, in November. “Speak up. You have a voice and keep on fighting for justice.” — Rape victim Nikita Hand after Conor McGregor was found liable in her High Court sexual assault civil case against the MMA fighter, in November. “I’ll wait for you in the car park.” — Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane to an Ipswich fan who directed abuse at him after a Man Utd match in November “That’s what girls have to think about all the time.” — Saoirse Ronan reacting to Paul Mescal joking about using a phone to defend yourself if you are attacked, in November. “In election after election, it has always boiled down really to either Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil, Tweedledum or Tweedledee.” — Mary Lou McDonald about Simon Harris and Micheal Martin in the build up to the November General Election. “It’s official. I’m running.” — The Monk announces bid to become a TD in Dublin Central. “He likes coke.” — Joe Rogan on why McGregor won’t fight again in the UFC.Prospera Financial Services Inc lifted its holdings in shares of First Trust Long/Short Equity ETF ( NYSEARCA:FTLS – Free Report ) by 4.2% during the third quarter, according to the company in its most recent Form 13F filing with the SEC.
