A day before President Donald Trump promised to unveil his latest task force — one devoted to reopening the economy as soon as possible — the White House was still scrambling to fortify its membership, identify its leadership and even outline the precise purpose of the group.
The council could become an opportunity for Trump to separate public health concerns, which have taken priority during the coronavirus crisis, from economic concerns, which are high on the minds of the president, many of his top aides and conservatives outside his administration. The new council also allows Trump to create internal competition for the best ideas and approaches as he weighs his decision on when and how to restart the economy.
For now, the council is expected to include White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Vice President Mike Pence, who is not expected to play a leading role. The former head of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers, Kevin Hassett, who is, is also expected to participate in the discussions.
