Trump's choice reflects a shift towards a more aggressive regulatory stance, as Carr has indicated a willingness to target broadcast licenses of networks that Trump opposes. This nomination is part of Trump's broader strategy to reshape media regulation. Additionally, Trump is set to interview candidates for Treasury Secretary at his Mar-a-Lago residence. Former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh and billionaire Marc Rowan are among those being considered.
