U.S. President Donald Trump said he intends to nominate Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve.

"I have known Kevin for a long period of time, and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "On top of everything else, he is ‘central casting,’ and he will never let you down.”

Warsh, who served on the U.S. central bank’s Board of Governors from 2006 to 2011 and has previously advised Trump on economic policy, would succeed Jerome Powell when his term at the helm ends in May. It marks a comeback for Warsh, 55, whom the president passed over for the top job in 2017 when he selected Powell.
