Biden announces that Diess will step down as White House economic adviser

　　China News Agency, Washington, February 2 (Reporter Chen Mengtong) US President Biden announced on the 2nd that Brian Diss will step down as director of the White House National Economic Council.

But he did not announce a successor for the central role on the White House economic team.

　　Recently, Biden has increased the intensity of going to local places to promote his economic policies and ruling achievements, and has begun to adjust the personnel layout of the White House's core staff.

This is the second time that Biden announced the personnel changes of the White House senior adviser within a week after the "change" of the White House chief of staff.

　　Brian Deese, 44, holds a Juris Doctor degree from Yale University.

During the Obama administration, he served successively as deputy director of the White House National Economic Council, deputy director and acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget.

　　In his statement, Biden evaluated Diess's "unique ability to translate complex policy challenges into concrete actions" and affirmed Diess's work in promoting major legislation such as the epidemic relief bill, infrastructure bill, and inflation reduction bill.

　　The director of the National Economic Council of the White House is responsible for coordinating and formulating the main economic policies of the government, and is the core figure of the US President's economic team.

Regarding the evaluation of Diess' work in the past two years, American public opinion believes that although Diess assisted the White House in completing a number of major economic agenda legislation, the high inflation problem that plagued the US economy is also one of the "policy legacy" of his tenure.

　　The White House did not announce where Diess would go next.

Regarding his successor, the "New York Times" quoted sources familiar with the matter as saying that Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Brainard and US Treasury Deputy Secretary Admoyer may be potential candidates for the director of the White House National Economic Council.
