Donald Trump's former chief economic advisor Gary Cohen said that selecting the Treasury Secretary for the new administration is one of the most critical decisions for the incoming president, but he does not believe that the process will take too long. "Choosing this person, even if it is not the most important decision he has to make, is one of the most important decisions. Therefore, it is important to get this right," Cohen said on Thursday. Cohen pointed out that the two most important economic officials chosen before Trump's first term began were selected after the Thanksgiving holiday in 2016, namely himself and former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, so there is still "plenty of time" to make a decision. "The transition team was ahead of most choices by a few weeks or even possibly a month," Cohen said. "We all have this anxiety because this is his second time as president, so there is an expectation that he knows how to get things done quickly. But if you look back eight years ago, you will find that those choices were made in the last week of November." Currently, hedge fund executives Scott Bessent, Marc Rowan from Apollo Global Management, and former Federal Reserve board member Kevin Warsh remain the main contenders for the Treasury position. They all met with Trump on Wednesday.
