He is in charge of the FCC and other federal organizations responsible for trade.

And where is the constitutional authority for federal organizations with total power over the U.S. commerce?

The Department of Commerce looks after trade, not the FCC

Nope. The FCC is an “independent” agency. The President appoints the Chairman, but he has no direct legal authority to control the FCC’s policy making.

Also, the FCC doesn’t get involved in routine trade matters, other than to issue or deny type-acceptance permissions for imported (as well as domestically made) devices that emit RF energy.
