Trump says new Fed chair decision might be made by year-end

AIR FORCE ONE/TOKYO (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said a decision on the next Federal Reserve chair might be made by the end of the year.

“Maybe by the end of the year, we’ll make a decision on the Fed,” he told reporters on the Air Force One.

“We’re going to do a second round, and we hope to present a good slate to the president right after Thanksgiving,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
