President Donald Trump’s administration is considering nominating a top official on the National Security Council for the No. 2 job at the Inter-American Development Bank, according to two people familiar with the process.

Mauricio Claver-Carone, the senior director of the NSC for Western Hemisphere Affairs, is being considered for the executive vice president’s job at the IDB, as the Washington-based lender is known. John Scott, a career employee of the bank, is serving in the job on an interim basis after Brian O’Neill, who started in the position in January 2019, died in December.
