(CNN) — President Donald Trump said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is no longer being considered as a replacement for Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair.
“I love Scott, but he wants to stay where he is,” Trump said Tuesday in a CNBC interview Tuesday morning. “I’ll take him off, because I asked him just last night, ‘Is this something you want? Nope, I want to say where I am.’”
Trump said he’s considering former Fed governor Kevin Warsh, top White House economist Kevin Hassett and two other people for the position.
Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler submitted her resignation on Friday, opening up a position for Trump to fill. Trump told CNBC that whomever he picks to replace Kugler will be in the position for just four months.
“I’m going to be announcing that very shortly,” Trump said in a Tuesday interview on CNBC. “It’ll be for the four months, you know, for the short period of time,” he added.
Trump also said his pick for Fed governor could end up being his pick for Fed chair when Jerome Powell’s term expires next year.
