Trump Names Icahn Adviser on Regulatory Reform
President-elect Donald Trump is naming one of the nation’s richest men to be a special adviser on issues regarding regulatory reform.
Carl Icahn, a veteran of Wall Street who founded his own securities firm, was named by Trump on Wednesday.
Icahn, an early Trump supporter, is estimated to be worth more than $16 billion. Trump, in a statement, said the 80-year-old Icahn, one of the nation’s leading investors, is “not only a brilliant negotiator, but also someone who is innately able to predict the future, especially having to do with finances and economies.”
During his campaign, Trump repeatedly vowed to cut back on the number of government regulations on American business owners. Icahn said in a statement that American businesses “have been crippled” by regulations.
