No final decisions have been made regarding Chavez-DeRemer and Lutnick, and Trump has previously considered firing individuals before retracting.
If Trump proceeds with more Cabinet changes, it may signal a significant reset attempt for an administration facing a challenging political environment.
The potential reshuffling focuses on Cabinet members who Trump believes have “underperformed or attracted excessive negative attention,” said a second senior official.
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers stated that both Chavez-DeRemer and Lutnick are “doing a great job supporting American workers and retain President Trump’s full support.”
Another White House official informed POLITICO on Lutnick’s behalf, denying any suggested changes at the Commerce Department. “Everyone is pleased with Howard’s work on trade deals, pharmaceuticals, Japan, tariffs, and his firm stance on Canada, which POTUS appreciates.”
However, according to the second White House official, Lutnick is on “thin ice,” but noted the president has previously reconsidered removing him and hasn’t acted on it yet.
