ME News news, December 24, 2023 (UTC+8), Trump has narrowed the candidates for the Federal Reserve chair to four people. The Wall Street consensus believes that White House advisor Kevin Hassett will take this position. During Hassett's tenure as chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers in Trump's first term, he did demonstrate a certain level of 'independence.' He recalled in his 2021 memoir that many aides 'wanted me out of the White House from the very beginning.' If Hassett were to lead the Federal Reserve before 2025, almost no one would oppose it. But the concern is that the Hassett who takes office will be the one from 2025. (Source: ME)
