Jailed Trump adviser predicts mass deportations as second term priority

Peter Navarro says first acts of Trump presidency would be firing Fed chair and intensifying China trade war in prison interview

The first 100 days of a second Donald Trump presidency would see the sacking of the Federal Reserve head, Jerome Powell, mass deportations of undocumented immigrants and higher tariffs on Chinese imports, the ex-president's former trade adviser Peter Navarro has said.

Navarro, the maverick former head of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy in Trump's first administration and a key loyalist, made the forecasts in an interview conducted from prison - where he is serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.
