U.S. Treasury Secretary’s Trade Announcements During Trump’s Asia Trip

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is planning to release trade announcements during President Donald Trump’s upcoming trip to Asia. Mnuchin has indicated he may travel ahead of Trump, with the next Federal Reserve Chair selection round scheduled after the visit. The sole criterion for this role is an ‘open mind.’ Following Thanksgiving in December, three to four candidates are expected to be recommended to President Trump for interviews. He plans to consider opinions from numerous sources on selecting the Federal Reserve Chair, who should represent monetary policy expertise and strong management skills.
