Nordquist had served as deputy director for international economics at the National Economic Council, giving him a key role in overseeing U.S. sanctions policy and serving as the liaison or “sherpa” to the Group of Seven advanced economies and the Group of 20 major economies.
One of the sources said the White House did not plan to replace Nordquist on the NEC.
The White House declined to comment and did not make Nordquist available for comment.
“The two key day-to-day people for organizing a G20 summit are the sherpa and the finance deputy,“ said Mark Sobel, a former senior U.S. Treasury official, who now serves as the U.S. chairman of the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum think tank. “If neither is in place, it will pose a challenge to organize the agenda and themes for the U.S. presidency in 2026.”
Nordquist is expected to replace Celeste Drake, who was appointed to the ILO role by former President Joe Biden two years ago. A source familiar with the matter said Drake had been informed that she would be relieved of her duties this autumn.
The United States has fallen behind in the payment of its dues to the ILO and recently blocked accreditation of the AFL-CIO labor organization to the U.N. body.
