He is the face of victory tariffs. But 9/11 attacks Howard Lutnik put in a national stage
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Howard Lutnik had a five-year-old son to school for the first day of kindergarten, causing Wall Street's CEO to work at the office of his World Trade Center in New York.
That delay ended to save Lutnik's life, who is currently the Secretary of the United States and has become a leading figure of the current trade war with Canada.
But on 9/11, each of his 658-year-old cantor Fitzgeraldi, including Lutnik's younger brother Gary, was killed in Northern Ashtarak, who took place in North American Airlines.
Two days later, Lutnik appeared on TV and weeps, and he interviewed THEN-ABC News by Journalist Connie Chung. Breaking several times during the interview, Lutnich described how he was taken to hospital hospital, looking for employees not yet declared.
“I don't go to the hospital or make anyone go to the hospital and say:” Find Gary Lutnik for me, “he said. “I go to the employee lists and say:
Personal, professional losses were affected
After broadcasting, Lutnik forced other media outlets, mostly with CNN cnari King and became a slightly national figure, which represented both personal and professional losses.
His picture then contrasts with Canadians, now they see that US President Donald Trump tariffs against Canada exports in the United States.
The February 1 statement on the 25% tariff for Canada and Mexico, which are on all the USA and Mexico products, whose responsibilities as trade secretaries contain that they can be met, but reviews.
(Thursday Trump stated that tariffs cease on some Canadian goods by April 2)
But even before the Lutnik became a secretary of the Trump Tariff Plan, as a co-chair of his transition team as Trump's internal region.
When the secretary of the trade was appointed, Lutnik went out as CEO of the County Fitzgerald, where he carried it in four decades and reconstructed it after 9/11 terrorist attacks.
At that time, the company had offices in the top five in 110-storey northern tower. When the plane flew 93 to 99 to 99 in the morning. In 46, it was trapped by people who worked on top.
“We lost every man in our office”
Lutnick's company lost more workers than any other enterprise at 9/11, more than two thirds of its workforce and more than one third of the total in the northern Tower.
“We lost every person in our office … All brokers, all traders, are all sellers of work. We all lost everyone, “he said in an interview with CNN's Larry King.
Lutnik said that when he was at his son's school that morning, his phone continued to sound and turned off.
“Later, I tried my brother Garis that I want to say goodbye,” he said in a statement of 11 last year's social media.
He also discovered that his brother called his sister and said to him: “He is not going to force it, and the smoke was bad,” he told the king, he told the king.
“And he called and said goodbye, that he loved him and for him to tell me he loves me.”
The Lutnik said that when he was eventually arrived in the building, he looked at the fleeing people and “spilled and shaking them.”
“I knew if I got one employee if I descended from the bottom one that I know that there should be others,” he said.
Lutnik contacted one of the 91st floor, but nothing higher. Then he was forced to run, as the Tower of the Second World Trade Center began to collapse after hitting another plane.
He said he tried to go ahead of smoke giant plum, but he jumped under the truck. He was completely covered with dust and walked only for hours, eventually calling his wife, he said.
To feedback to cut payments
This emotional and compulsive interview is the non-widespread sympathy with widespread sympathy, as it was a joke for the public to see the General Director of the Wall Street.
However, compassion was short. Lutnik soon faced huge contempt when they learned that only days of the attacks were the payments of employees who once disappeared and assumed dead.
That return included criticism of several of those employees. Chung was following the tracking story, this time giving an interview to some of the widows who were angry with the termination of the lutnik's salary.
“Don't expect these women to cry for the Lutnik,” Chag said. “A few days after the tragedy, he did something that they could neither forgive nor to forget.”
Lutnik at the time when he confessed that he was interested in widows, asking for their husband's salary.
“They call me and say,” How can you not pay my salary? Why can't you pay my husband's salary? He said:
“But, did you see, I lost everyone in companies, so I can't pay their salary. They think they are doing wrong.
However, he defended that decision to cut off payments and claimed that he had no alternative.
“I needed my bankers to find out that I was controlling,” Lutnik told New York Times in 2011 in an interview. “That I was not sentimental, and that I was not less motivated or driven to make my business survive.”
He promised his promise to provide 25% of families' profits in the next five years. Expanding $ 180 million in the United States, and pay for their health care for the next 10 years.
US President Donald Trump's application to Congress, Captain Katy Simpson, was transferred to Captain Secretary Howard Lutnik, who offered the tariffs against Canada yet.
Meanwhile, some family members who criticized Lutnik countered their opinion and praised his efforts.
Lutnik was able to rebuild and grow the cantor Fitzgerald and became a billionaire in the process. But the attacks on September 11 and the lost ones in his firm still remain close to the surface.
With his recent hearing, the Lutnik was drowning in front of the US Senate Commerce Committee when he remembered the events of that day and those killed.
“I can't say yet, without emotional, sorry,” he said.
