But he&#8217;s likely to spend a lot of time \u2014 along with Jamieson Greer, Mr. Trump&#8217;s nominee to be the top U.S. trade negotiator \u2014 managing the president&#8217;s aggressive plans to impose import taxes on U.S. trading partners, including allies and adversaries alike.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate vote to confirm Lutnick was 51-45.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump views the tariffs as a versatile economic tool. They can raise money to finance his tax cuts elsewhere, protect U.S. industries and pressure other countries into making concessions on such issues as their own trade barriers, immigration and drug trafficking. Mainstream economists mostly view tariffs as counterproductive: They are paid by import companies in the United States, which try to pass along the higher costs to consumers and can thereby add to inflationary pressures throughout the economy.<\/p>\n<p>At his confirmation hearing last month, Lutnick dismissed as &#8220;nonsense&#8221; the idea that tariffs contribute to inflation. He expressed support for deploying across-the-board tariffs &#8220;country by country&#8221; to strong-arm other countries into lowering barriers to American exports.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump last week announced plans for &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; tariffs \u2014 raising U.S. import tax rates to match the higher taxes that other countries impose on goods from the U.S. The move would shatter the rules that have governed world trade for decades. Since the 1960s, tariff rates have mostly emerged from negotiations between dozens of countries. Mr. Trump is commandeering the process.<\/p>\n<p>The president has also imposed 10% tariffs on Chinese imports and effectively raised U.S. taxes on foreign steel and aluminum. He has threatened \u2014 and delayed until March 4 \u2014 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Lutnick was CEO at Cantor Fitzgerald when its offices were hit in the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center. The firm lost two-thirds of its employees \u2014 658 people \u2014 that day, including Lutnick&#8217;s brother. Howard Lutnick led the firm&#8217;s recovery and is a member of the Board of Directors of the National September 11 Memorial &amp; Museum.<\/p>\n<p>Lutnick has promised to sell off his business holdings. They&#8217;re complicated. His <a href=\"https:\/\/extapps2.oge.gov\/201\/Presiden.nsf\/PAS+Index\/AC841CF0E3B5807A85258C1C00320D21\/%24FILE\/Lutnick%2C%20Howard%20%20final278.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">financial
