Trump names corporate tax lobbyist Ken Kies to key Treasury role, amid plans for more tax cuts.

President-elect Trump has named Ken Kies, a Republican tax lobbyist who represents major companies, as Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy at the Treasury Department. This comes as Trump aims to extend existing tax cuts and enact new ones for corporations, which could increase the deficit by trillions. Trump’s team also includes Samantha Schwab, granddaughter of billionaire Charles Schwab, and Cora Alvi as Deputy Chiefs of Staff. Failure to extend current tax cuts could lead to higher taxes for households and small businesses.
