**Title: Navigating U.S. Commerce: Howard Lutnick's Strategic Moves and TikTok Tensions**
In this episode of The Secretary of Commerce podcast, host Mortimer brings you a deep dive into the dynamic world of U.S. economic policy under the leadership of Howard Lutnick, confirmed as Secretary of Commerce on February 18, 2025. Formerly the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and closely allied with President Trump, Lutnick is now at the helm of America's trade and tariff strategies, wielding significant influence over critical national and international economic interactions.
We tackle the buzziest topic heating up social media: the fate of TikTok in the U.S. Following a candid Fox News interview, Lutnick expressed serious national security concerns over the app's Chinese ownership, emphasizing that a shift to American ownership is crucial to avoid a shutdown. The clock is ticking toward a decisive September 17 deadline, fueling widespread debate over national security, data privacy, and free speech.
Amid the TikTok tumult, Lutnick is also deeply engaged in pivotal global trade negotiations. With an August 1 deadline approaching, Lutnick’s deft handling of talks with Korean trade officials and ongoing discussions with the EU on steel and aluminum tariffs are things to watch. These negotiations could redefine international trade dynamics, drawing intense speculation and analysis from social media to economic forums.
Join us as we explore Howard Lutnick's strategies and their potential to redefine U.S. commerce at this critical juncture.
