Adjunct Professor Matt Gold was quoted in a Street article about Donald Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross.
“I don’t know if the committee’s going to go after Wilbur Ross on Donald Trump’s proposed trade policies,” said Matt Gold, adjunct professor of law at Fordham University and former deputy assistant trade representative under the Obama administration. “A lot of those policies are politically popular, and many of those Senators don’t want to be seen by their own constituencies as being against them.”

“Wilbur Ross may end up having a lower role in trade than Trump thinks he’ll have,” said Gold. “Once he gets into a room with people that better understand the implications of violating trade agreements and the difficulties of renegotiating trade agreements, Wilbur Ross may not be so excited about being the lead trade policy person for this administration.”
