Trump plans to meet with this last candidate prior to announcing his choice for the next Fed chair

Final Interview for Federal Reserve Chair Approaches

According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, President Donald Trump is set to conduct one last interview before selecting the next head of the Federal Reserve. During remarks at the Minnesota Economic Club—where he also discussed a high-profile fraud case—Bessent revealed that Rick Rieder, Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income at BlackRock, is scheduled to meet with Trump soon. The individual chosen for this role will play a pivotal part in shaping U.S. economic policy, including managing interest rates and guiding the central bank’s strategies to control inflation. Trump has reportedly narrowed down his list of candidates.
