It is reported that two more names have been added to the list of possible finance ministers of the newly elected US President Donald Trump's cabinet. They are former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsaw and US billionaire Mark Rowan.

The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal published the news on Sunday.
Warsaw, 54, is a former investment adviser. He served on the Federal Reserve Board from 2006 to 2011.
On the other hand, 62-year-old Rowan is the co-founder of investment management firm Apollo Global Management. He became the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company in 2021.
Republican Senator Bill Hagerty, the 65-year-old governor of Tennessee, is also in the running, the Wall Street Journal said. Hagerty met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago last week.
Trump has not yet announced his preferred candidate for Treasury Secretary. However, investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick and investor Scott Besant are believed to be leading the race.
Trump is having second thoughts about Lutnick and Besant, the New York Times reported. Trump is expected to invite potential candidates to his Mar-a-Lago residence this week to meet with them, he said.
Billionaires Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke on Lutnick's behalf last Saturday.
