Trump confidants discuss personnel arrangements after Hassett takes over the Fed, Bernhardt may also serve as director of the NEC.

According to informed sources, Trump's advisers and allies are discussing personnel arrangements after President Trump hinted at the appointment of Kevin Warsh as the new chairman of the Federal Reserve the possibility of having US Treasury Secretary Scott Besent also serve as the White House's chief economic adviser. If the current director of the White House National Economic Council, Warsh, becomes the successor to Federal Reserve Chairman Powell as suggested by Trump, allowing Besent to oversee the institution could enable him to integrate the President's economic policies. Informed sources revealed this potential arrangement on condition of anonymity. If Besent also takes over the National Economic Council, he would become the chief arbitrator of economic affairs for the Trump administration, with responsibilities covering the Treasury Department and the White House. In addition, he would also gain an office in the West Wing of the White House, allowing him to be physically closer to the President.
