Donald Trump is already narrowing down his picks for Treasury secretary, a high-level Cabinet position he is eyeing a number of current and former financial industry executives to fill.

Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reports that Trump is interview a number of candidates to a series of cabinet positions at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, including the top job in the Treasury Department. A decision could be made this week for that role, according to the publication.

“Trump, the president-elect, will soon begin making decisions about who will serve in his second administration,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said. “These decisions will be made public when they are made.”

So far, the president-elect has heralded former Immigration Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan as the “border czar”; New York representative Elise Stefanik was named as Trump’s nominee for ambassador to the United Nations; and Susie Wiles was named chief of staff, the first woman ever appointed to the role.
