It won’t be until January that Donald Trump take office as president of the United States after winning the November 5 presidential election against Democrat Kamala Harris. But that doesn’t stop us from starting to find out which team will accompany the American tycoon in the next US government.
The latest appointed by Trump to be part of his executive are the former NFL (National Football League) player and former member of the government during the tycoon’s first term, Scott Turneras Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and hedge fund investor and manager, Scott Bessentas the new Treasury Secretary.

Turner is the first African American nominated so far for a position in the Trump administration.

“I am extremely pleased to nominate Scott Bessent as the 79th Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Scott is widely respected as one of the world’s leading international investors and geopolitical and economic strategists. THE Scott’s story is one of the American dream. My administration will restore the freedom, strength, resilience, and efficiency of our capital markets. “We will reinvigorate the private sector and help halt the unsustainable trajectory of the federal debt,” the tycoon said in a statement.

One of Trump’s most controversial economic proposals is charge high prices to all imports, leading some economists to warn that the measure could reignite inflation. In media interviews, Bessent tried to downplay Trump’s business threats. “My general view is that at the end of the day he is a free trade advocate.”
