US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett will \u201cshortly\u201d leave his post, but did not provide a reason for the latest high-level departure from the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hassett\u2019s impending departure comes at a time of drama between the United States and some of its main trade partners. A trade war is brewing between the United States and China, while Trump has vowed to impose punitive tariffs on all Mexican goods in an intensifying dispute over migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKevin Hassett, who has done such a great job for me and the Administration, will be leaving shortly. His very talented replacement will be named as soon as I get back to the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hassett previously served as a scholar of fiscal policy at the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank before Trump nominated him to the White House role in 2017.
