WHITE HOUSE: WSJ-Trump Considers Fox's Kudlow For Economic Policy Role

WHITE HOUSE
USGlobalHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsRegionNorth America

The Wall Street Journal reports that President-Elect Donald Trump is considering Fox Business host Larry Kudlow for a senior economic policy role according to people familiar with the matter. WSJ: "Kudlow met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago...late this week, the people said. Trump’s advisers see Kudlow as a contender to lead the National Economic Council and possibly the Treasury Department. [...] Kudlow, 77, served as NEC director for nearly three years, remaining in the role until the end of Trump’s time in office. He has kept in regular touch with Trump."

  • WSJ: "On his weekday show, Kudlow regularly touts Trump’s economic policy proposals. His allies have made appeals directly to Trump to bring him back into the administration, the people said. Kudlow’s stock has risen in Trump’s orbit amid what one adviser to the president called a “cold war” between two other leading candidates for senior economic roles in the second term: billionaire Cantor Fitzgerald Chief Executive Howard Lutnick and investor Scott Bessent."
  • So far, appointments from the Trump transition team have all focused on foreign/security (Secretary of State, NSI, Secretary of Defense) or domestic (Interior, HHS) policy as opposed to economic policy (USTR, Treasury Secretary).
