Reports indicate that Trump is considering appointing Slater as the head of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division, with analysts suggesting that this nomination means Trump will continue the tough enforcement stance advocated by the Biden administration.
Trump is considering appointing hardline officials to the Department of Justice to strengthen antitrust enforcement against large technology companies.
According to media reports, the incoming president of the usa, Trump, plans to appoint Gail Slater as the head of the antitrust division of the Department of Justice. Slater is reportedly a senior aide to incoming Vice President Vance and was previously considered a strong candidate for chair of the trade commission.
Public information shows that Slater graduated from Oxford University, has worked at the Federal Trade Commission for more than a decade, and was an advisor to Julie Brill, a commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission during former usa President Obama's term.
Previously, incoming Vice President Vance expressed a desire to see Google broken up, showing a firm stance on antitrust issues, and as Vance's senior aide, Slater also holds a radical position against monopolistic behavior.
According to top Wall Street traders who spoke to the media, Slate's nomination would mean that the new government will continue the tough law enforcement stance advocated by the Biden administration.$Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$、$Apple (AAPL.US)$、$Meta Platforms (META.US)$And.$Amazon (AMZN.US)$Major technology giants waiting inside will continue to face a more severe regulatory environment.
Insiders analyze:
Considering her (Slater's) stance in the campaign and her relationship with Vance, I believe she is fully capable of serving as the head of the Department of Justice or the chair of the Federal Trade Commission.
According to reports, in addition to Slatter, Melissa Holyoak, who holds a more conservative stance on antitrust matters, is also a strong contender for the head of the Department of Justice's antitrust division. Trump's ally Mike Lee has publicly endorsed former Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission enforcement official Mark Meador for this position.
Lee stated in a declaration:
"The Federal Trade Commission urgently needs new leadership that will restore the agency’s enforcement based on legal precedents and economics, and will continue to hold large technology companies accountable for their anti-competitive behaviors."
