The resolution source for this market will be official information from the Trump administration however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**Howard Lutnick remains the confirmed Secretary of Commerce, a role he has held since February 2025 under President Trump.** Recent developments show him actively engaged in trade policy, tariff implementation, semiconductor restrictions, and international meetings such as the G20 Innovation Ministerial in early September 2026. Although House Democrats called for his resignation in May 2026 over past Epstein-related statements, Trump publicly reaffirmed support, and no subsequent administration actions or Senate moves have signaled removal.
