Pierre Yared is stepping down from his position as the acting chairman of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, a role he has held since September. President Trump announced Yared's return to Columbia Graduate School, where he is well-regarded, and expressed gratitude for his contributions to economic policy.

The Council of Economic Advisers, which has been advising the president on economic matters since 1946, is currently without a successor for Yared, leaving uncertainty about future leadership. The CEA's website still lists Yared as acting chairman, with Aaron Hedlund noted as a member. This transition could influence the administration's economic strategies and decisions moving forward
