Trump also chose Vince Haley, who served as a speechwriter and adviser during his first term and on the campaign trail, to lead the Domestic Policy Council.

From 2017 to 2019, Hassett was the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, a three-member panel that analyzes economic data on behalf of the president. As head of the National Economic Council, he will have a more expansive portfolio that will likely put him at the center of the administration's internal policy debates about trade, taxes and deregulation.

Greer served as chief of staff to Robert Lighthizer when he was trade representative during Trump's first term. The trade representative acts as the government's chief trade negotiator and will play a central role in shaping Trump's tariffs on U.S. imports.

Bloomberg earlier reported that Greer was expected to be chosen for the job.

As director of the Domestic Policy Council, Haley, a lesser known but influential aide to the president-elect, will oversee a range of issues, including healthcare, immigration and education.

The heads of the Domestic Policy Council and the National Economic Council can be appointed to their roles without Senate confirmation.

Trump's trade representative nominee would need to be approved by the Senate.

Last week Trump chose the veteran investor Scott Bessent to be Treasury secretary.

Bessent was one of the Wall Street favorites to lead the Treasury Department and has recently been advocating for Trump's tariff policies.

Trump will nominate Howard Lutnick, the chief executive of the financial-services company Cantor Fitzgerald, as commerce secretary.
