Costco nominated former President Joe Biden ‘s commerce secretary, Gina Raimondo , to its board of directors on Thursday, days after suing the Trump administration to seek a full refund of tariffs that the retail giant paid this year for its foreign products.

“We are very pleased to nominate Secretary Raimondo for election to our Board,” Costco Chairman Hamilton James said in a press release . “Her vast experience in global business, politics and international security at the highest level will add an important dimension to our current expertise. We look forward to her contributions.”
