President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he is nominating Kara Westercamp to serve on the U.S. Court of International Trade.
He praised her experience as a trade lawyer and her work advancing his administration’s economic policies.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said it was his “honor” to select Westercamp for the federal bench.
He described her as “a very experienced Trade Lawyer” who spent more than a decade as an attorney at the Justice Department.
Westercamp currently serves as an associate counsel at the White House, where Trump said she is among the lawyers defending his “America First Agenda.”
The Court of International Trade, based in New York, has nationwide jurisdiction over civil cases involving international trade and customs laws.
