Donald Trump is scheduled to hold interviews today for the Treasury secretary post with former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh and Apollo Global Management's Marc Rowan, people familiar said. Warsh is seen by markets as a seasoned candidate. Yesterday, the president-elect reached again into the ranks of loyalists to fill cabinet positions, tapping Cantor Fitzgerald boss Howard Lutnick to lead the Commerce Department and former WWE chief Linda McMahon as secretary of education. Here's a rundown of who's been named so far. Russia said it was ready to talk with Trump about a potential cease-fire with Ukraine. But a Kremlin spokesman cautioned "freezing this conflict will not work for us," state media reported. Reuters earlier reported that Moscow may be open to negotiations on halting the war along current battle-lines. War in Ukraine as well as in the Middle East overshadowed the G-20 summit, let alone the looming return of Trump.
