The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday, Sept. 9, edition that U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, TX., that she is "probably done" serving at the highest levels of government after President Joe Biden's term ends in January. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe reports that Dr. Yellen, asked at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Tex., whether she was "done" when a new administration takes over in January, or might continue in her job or take on a new administration role, Dr. Yellen said, "Probably done, but we'll see." The comments are the closest that Ms. Yellen, 78, has come to announcing her future plans as the presidential race between Vice-President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump heats up. Dr. Yellen has been the first woman to serve as Treasury Secretary, Federal Reserve chairman and director of the White House National Economic Council. Ms. Yellen mentioned that she has a lot of work to do at Treasury in the coming months, including a likely meeting with her Chinese counterpart, He Lifeng. Dr. Yellen has expressed willingness to welcome a visit from China or visit China herself, saying, "My guess is that we will have, one way or another, a visit."
