President Donald Trump announced late on June 2 that White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) Chairman Kevin Hassett will be leaving his post in the near future.

Trump praised the work of Hassett, whom he nominated in 2017, and said he would be naming his “talented” replacement soon, without elaborating further. Hassett previously served as a scholar of fiscal policy at the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank.
