President-elect Trump announced several appointments for his Treasury Department and choices for ambassadors for two European countries.

In multiple Thursday Truth Social posts, Trump outlined who will work alongside his Treasury chief Scott Bessent, along with his picks for ambassadors to Spain and to the Netherlands.

Trump picked Ken Kies to work as the assistant secretary for tax policy. Kies, a tax lawyer with nearly five decades of experience, served as chief of staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation in Congress.

He chose Alexandra Preate to be the next senior counsel to Bessent. Trump said that Preate has worked “closely with former Director of the National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow, as well as my long-time economic advisors, Dr. Arthur B. Laffer and Stephen Moore.”

For the director of policy planning, he selected Hunter McMaster.

Trump chose Daniel Katz, a senior fellow at the conservative think-tank Manhattan Institute, to be the department’s chief of staff. Katz previously served as a senior advisor at the Department of the Treasury.
