Trump nominates Brendan Carr to lead FCC as treasury secretary candidates visit Mar-a-Lago
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brendan Carr, currently a commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to lead the agency. Carr is known for his involvement in Project 2025 and is described as a proponent of free speech. Trump has not yet selected a treasury secretary. Two new candidates, former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh and billionaire Marc Rowan, will be interviewed at Mar-a-Lago on Monday. Previous frontrunners for the position are now under reconsideration. In a separate development, President Joe Biden announced the approval of American-made long-range missiles for Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
