Everett Eissenstat, one of the Trump administration's top economic advisers, is leaving his post in July.

Eissenstat was once a top aide to Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and chief Republican trade counsel for the Senate Finance Committee. Since becoming a senior White House official last year, Eissenstat has represented Trump at several international meetings, including the G7 summit this month in Canada, which ended with Trump leaving early after refusing to sign a joint statement from all the countries.
