President Donald Trump has offered Lawrence Kudlow the job as director of the National Economic Council and he accepted, making the economic commentator one of the president’s top economic advisers, Kudlow said in an interview.

The appointment could be announced Thursday, Kudlow said. He would replace Gary Cohn, the investment banker who quit the White House last week after losing out in a battle over tariffs on U.S. steel imports. A White House spokesman declined to comment.
