WASHINGTON – A former banker, a congressman or a former captain of industry: President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for U.S. Treasury secretary will send a key message about his administration’s economic plans.
The Treasury secretary’s signature will be on the back of U.S. bank notes, but more importantly the secretary is a key player in financial regulation, guarantor of the world’s largest reserve currency, architect of economic relations with China and leader of the fight against the financing of terrorism.
