Donald Trump met with ex-Federal Reserve Board member Kevin Warsh at his Mar-a-lago estate this wednesday to discuss a unique arrangement: Treasury Secretary position with future Fed Chairman prospects
The former president is looking at several top-tier candidates for his possible 2025 administration. Scott Bessent‚ a well-known hedge-fund pro and ex-Yale teacher could head the National Economic Council; after which he might take Warshʼs Treasury spot
Other big-names are also being looked at for the Treasury job including:
- Marc Rowan from Apollo Global Management
- Tennesseeʼs Senator Bill Hagerty
- Robert Lighthizer‚ Trumps previous trade rep
Sources close to the talks say nothing is set in stone yet - the ex-president might pick someone completely different (its still early in the selection process) While the potential Warsh arrangement shows Trumps interest in experienced financial pros; the final choice remains up-in-the-air
