#TRUMP TO ANNOUNCE NEW FED GOVERNOR, BLS CHIEF THIS WEEK

President Trump said he will name a new Federal Reserve governor and Bureau of Labor Statistics chief within days. The Fed vacancy follows the unexpected resignation of Adriana Kugler, who leaves Friday to return to Georgetown University. Trump said he has candidates in mind, aiming to appoint someone aligned with his push for rate cuts. He also plans to replace BLS head Erika McEntarfer, whom he fired after a weak jobs report.
