  • U.S. Republican President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would nominate Paul Atkins to run the Securities and Exchange Commission, putting a prominent conservative Washington insider atop Wall Street's major regulator.

The article from Reuters discusses former President Donald Trump's selection of Paul Atkins, a former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) commissioner, to lead the SEC if Trump wins the 2024 presidential election. Atkins, who served on the SEC from 2002 to 2008, is known for his advocacy for deregulation and has been critical of what he perceives as excessive regulatory burdens on businesses. His potential appointment reflects Trump's ongoing interest in reshaping financial regulation to favor less government oversight. Atkins has also been involved with Patomak Global Partners, a consulting firm he co-founded, which advises financial firms on regulatory issues. His previous tenure at the SEC was marked by efforts to reduce regulatory costs and increase market efficiency, aligning with Trump's economic policies.
