President Donald Trump said he will be looking at a couple candidates to chair the Federal Reserve, after the Financial Times reported that he would begin interviews with contenders this week.

“We’re going to be looking at a couple different people, but I have a pretty good idea of who I want,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday.
