Scott Bessent met with Donald Trump on Friday.
Bessent is one of the leading candidates for the role of U.S. Treasury Secretary.
Prominent investor Scott Bessent met with Donald Trump on Friday as he and fellow investor John Paulson emerge as leading candidates for the key role of U.S. Treasury Secretary, according to two people close to the president-elect.
Bessent and Paulson are among several names that have been reported in the media as potential candidates for the role in recent days. A final decision rests with Trump, and Reuters was unable to learn whether others had been ruled out or were still in contention.
One of the two sources said Bessent’s meetings at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Florida estate were “very positive.”
It was unclear whether Paulson had met or had plans to meet with Trump.
Bessent recently went on the WarRoom to discuss the National Debt.
