President Donald Trump has nominated Jeff Goettman, Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s former chief of staff, to serve as a deputy U.S. trade representative.
In the post, which requires U.S. Senate confirmation, Goettman’s areas of responsibility would include Africa, the Western Hemisphere, Europe, the Middle East, environment, labor and industrial competitiveness.
Trump has named multiple Youngkin appointees to his administration. For example, Travis Voyles, who served as secretary of Natural Resources in Youngkin’s administration, is assistant deputy administrator in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Terrance Cole, Youngkin’s secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security, is Trump’s nominee for administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
