Economic Impact of Trump's Cabinet Picks
President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Scott Besant, a hedge fund manager, as Treasury Secretary is significant due to his Wall Street background and shift towards the MAGA movement. This appointment is perceived as a safe choice by top CEOs and Wall Street, reflecting confidence in Trump's economic agenda. However, Trump's announcement of substantial tariffs, including a 25% tax on goods from Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% tariff on China, raises alarms among economists regarding potential price increases for everyday goods. This approach may lead to heightened costs for American consumers and businesses, complicating holiday shopping as inflation remains a concern.
