US media: Trump is reconsidering his choice for Treasury secretary

According to the New York Times, US President-elect Donald Trump is considering a new candidate for Treasury secretary: including former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh and Wall Street billionaire Marc Rowan. Trump was expected to choose Howard Lutnick, the CEO of the Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald, or Scott Bessent, a former fund manager of George Soros. But Trump has been reconsidering the top two candidates and slowing down his selection process, and he is expected to invite candidates to meet with him this week at Mar-a-Lago.
