(Kamil Zihnioglu/Associated Press)A senior official in the White House’s National Economic Council will soon be named U.S. ambassador to India, four White House officials confirmed. The move comes as the Indian prime minister plans to visit the Trump White House next week for the first time. His exit from the White House has been rumored for weeks, amid reports that he clashed with other senior White House officials on trade and economic issues. White House officials said Juster’s move out of the White House was his personal initiative, not the result of any disputes he had with other senior officials who have differing views on economics and trade. “Ken has a strong and positive relationship with everyone in the White House, including the president.”Juster is not the first senior member of Cohn’s team to leave the White House.
