President Donald Trump on Friday announced that he is nominating Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as chairman of the Federal Reserve, ending months of speculation over who he'd pick to head the central bank.

"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 Truth Social. "On top of everything else, he is 'central casting,' and he will never let you down. Congratulations Kevin!"
