Who will Donald Trump choose as his treasury secretary? What to know about the top candidates
The candidate Trump choses would be taking over a high-level Cabinet position charged with advising the president on matters related to financial, economic and tax policy
President-elect Donald Trump has rolled out his picks for his next secretary of state, secretary of defense and attorney general, but he hasn't yet announced one of the most critical Cabinet roles: treasury secretary.
The candidate Trump choses would be taking over a high-level Cabinet position charged with advising the president on matters related to financial, economic and tax policy. They will have to be confirmed by the Senate before they can take on the pivotal position.
Trump's 2024 reelection campaign centered around lowering prices and making other economic promises to the American people. The president-elect has called himself “Tariff Man” and said he plans to impose up to 20% tariffs on all imported goods and additional tariffs of 60% to 100% on goods from China.
