President-elect Donald Trump's search for a Treasury secretary is widening after it stalled over the weekend and he is looking at other candidates, two sources briefed on the matter said on Monday.

President-elect Donald Trump is casting a wider net for Treasury secretary after jockeying among his top two candidates sent him looking for an alternative solution, according to multiple people familiar with the process.

Trump was originally believed to have two frontrunners in Howard Lutnick and Scott Bessent, but is now reported to be considering more options.

They will have to be confirmed by the Senate before they can take on the pivotal position. Trump's 2024 reelection campaign centered around lowering prices and making other economic promises to the American people.

Trump's transition team is searching for a new treasury secretary candidate amid a deadlock between the two front-runners.

President-elect Donald Trump added former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh and billionaire Marc Rowan to the list of candidates to become his Treasury secretary, the New York Times reported on Sunday.

The U.S. dollar edged up on Tuesday to within striking distance of its one-year high as investors closely watch U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's search for a Treasury secretary, which is widening after stalling over the weekend.

Trump's hunt for a Treasury Secretary has reportedly become a bit of a mess. Several new names have reportedly entered the conversation.
