WASHINGTON, April 7 (Reuters) - Peter Navarro, President Donald Trump's top trade adviser, on Monday dismissed tech-billionaire Elon Musk's push for "zero tariffs" between the United States and Europe, calling the Tesla CEO a "car assembler" reliant on parts from other countries.
Navarro, widely seen as the architect of Trump's tariff plans, told CNBC Musk had done a good job with his work to streamline government, but his opposition to duties was not surprising, the latest salvo in a growing feud between the Trump advisers.
"When it comes to tariffs and trade, we all understand in the White House - and the American people understand - that Elon is a car manufacturer, but he's not a car manufacturer. He's a car assembler," Navarro said, adding that many Tesla parts came from Japan, China and Taiwan.
