President-elect Donald Trump has chosen former Treasury official Stephen Miran to be his chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.
“I am pleased to announce that I will nominate Stephen Miran to be the Chairman of my Council of Economic Advisers,” Trump said in a Sunday statement. “Steve will work with the rest of my Economic Team to deliver a Great Economic Boom that lifts up all Americans.”
Miran worked as a senior adviser for economic policy at the Treasury Department during Trump’s first term and holds a doctorate in economics from Harvard University. He currently works as a senior strategist at the global investment firm Hudson Bay Capital and is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
