Liddell is currently a White House official who is close to Jared Kushner.
He was previously the Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of General Motors and CFO of Microsoft, Senior Vice President and CFO of International Paper, and CFO of William Morris Endeavor.
He holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree with honors from the University of Auckland in New Zealand, and a Master of Philosophy degree from Oxford University in England.
He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
This guy is bad news.
After Trump’s election in 2016, a New Zealand journalist asked Lidell whether he is worried about more protectionism under a Trump presidency. He replied, "the days of unbridled free trade and unbridled free markets are over."
“I worked in the private sector all my life, so I’m a believer in free markets, but not unbridled free markets,” Liddell continued. “And we’ve had 30 years since the mid-’80s, both in New Zealand and here in the U.S. and globally, of basically free markets being driving the whole thinking, the whole rhetoric around governing. I think those days are over, personally. I think we’re going to go through a circular trend of a much more restrained free market.”
This alone tells you when it comes to economics, he is as dumb as Trump.

Dumb, or a mountebank. Also, these Trumpistas can't have their stories straight: what is the main justification for tariffs if not that the market is *too* bridled, especially against American exports?
