Trick or trend: Is Kevin Warsh really the most likely next head of the Federal Reserve?

The tea leaves seem to say that President Donald Trump is leaning toward appointing Kevin Warsh to head the Federal Reserve when Janet Yellen’s term as chair of the U.S. central bank expires in February 2018. Trump has met with Warsh to discuss the position of chair of the Fed, the White House confirmed this week. Yellen, meanwhile, told reporters that she had not met with Trump since early in 2017.
