President Donald Trump said he’s considering Stanford University economist John Taylor and Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell for the top job at the central bank, and indicated Fed Chair Janet Yellen remains in the running for renomination to a second four-year term.
“Most people are saying it’s down to two -- Mr. Taylor and Mr. Powell. I also met with Janet Yellen, who I like a lot, I really like her a lot,” Trump told Fox Business Network in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday and Monday. “So I have three people that I’m looking at, and there are a couple of others. I’d say I will make my decision very shortly.”
