Paul Ryan, then as an attorney in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, before becoming Deputy Assistant to the President for International Economics and Deputy Director of the National Economic Council under President Trump. Willems was also the lead U.S. negotiator in trade talks with China and served as President Trump’s guide to the G7 and G20 summits.
