Trump Withdraws BLS Nominee Amid Concerns

Donald Trump has withdrawn EJ Antoni as his nominee for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) just weeks after his appointment. The White House stated a new candidate will be nominated soon. Antoni, an economist loyal to Trump, was nominated after the previous commissioner's dismissal, which raised concerns about data integrity. Many economists worried Antoni's lack of expertise and loyalty to Trump would jeopardize the BLS's objectivity and global reputation.
