Trump intends to narrow down the list of candidates for U.S. Treasury Secretary this week and is leaning toward someone with a Wall Street background for the position, according to sources. The list of candidates for Treasury Secretary includes Howard Lutnick, CEO of Kent, hedge fund billionaire John Paulson, former George Soros fund manager Scott Bessent and Virginia Governor and former Carlyle Group executive Glenn Youngkin. Sources said Bessent met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, but the meeting was not an interview for the Treasury Secretary position. People familiar with the matter said Trump's Wall Street allies urged him to appoint someone with a deep understanding of the financial industry as Treasury Secretary, and the Trump team has said they will follow this advice. Robert Lighthizer, the U.S. trade representative during Trump's first term and the architect of the comprehensive tariff proposal, is also one of the candidates for Treasury Secretary. People familiar with the matter said Lighthizer has begun developing tariff plans involving China and the European Union, and he may eventually take a broad position in the White House to oversee trade policy across the government.
