Trump Aides Weigh Hassett as Fed Chair, Benett Could Lead White House NEC to Coordinate Economic Policy

COINOTAG News, December 4, reports that aides and allies of President Trump are weighing a potential personnel rearrangement. In discussions circulating within political and financial circles, Hassett could be positioned as the next Federal Reserve chair, while the incumbent Treasury Secretary Benett would potentially assume the role of White House National Economic Council director, creating a unified front for macroeconomic policy. The plan has not been finalized, and there has been no formal confirmation.

Insiders say the arrangement would align the Treasury’s regulatory stance with White House economic priorities, potentially enhancing coordination across fiscal and monetary levers. Such a shift would be closely watched by markets and policy teams for implications on regulatory timing and policy implementation.

A White House official emphasized that personnel changes are speculative until an official announcement is made, and a representative from the Treasury Department did not respond to comment requests. (Jinse Finance)
