Trump Expands Search for Treasury Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump's search for a Treasury secretary has expanded after initial candidates struggled to secure the position. Key contenders now include former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh and Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan, both of whom have significant ties to Trump and his administration. Warsh is known for his hawkish economic views and close personal connections to Trump, while Rowan is backed by influential allies like Jared Kushner. Other names previously in contention, such as banker Howard Lutnick and investor Scott Bessent, have seen their prospects diminish amid internal debates. The Treasury secretary role is highly sought after, overseeing critical financial policies, and remains a focal point for Wall Street. Trump's transition team has not confirmed any appointments yet, leaving the door open for additional candidates to emerge.
