Washington DC, President Donald Trump has picked conservative economic commentator and former Reagan official Larry Kudlow to lead the National Economic Council, the White House confirmed Wednesday.

Press secretary Sarah Sanders said the president extended the offer directly to Kudlow and that he has accepted the role.“Larry Kudlow was offered, and accepted, the position of Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Director of the National Economic Council. We will work to have an orderly transition and will keep everyone posted on the timing of him officially assuming the role,” Sanders said in a statement.

Kudlow will replace Globalist Gary Cohn, long rumored to be on the way out ,resigned last week as the president's chief economic adviser after he lost his fight to stop Trump from imposing steep tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

Kudlow has had an on again off again relationship with the president ,disagreeing on tariffs but embracing tax cuts . Kudlow is also very old school and has often taken issue periodically with the presidents take no prisoners attitude ,yet has remained a big proponent of the presidents policies.
