Trump signs order to create sovereign wealth fund
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office charging the Department of Treasury and others in his administration to start working on the process to create an "American sovereign wealth fund."
Howard Lutnik, Trump's pick for commerce secretary, said the fund could be set up within the next 12 months.

"Other countries have, sovereign wealth funds and they're much smaller countries, and they're not the United States. We have tremendous potential in this country," Trump said.
Trump also signed five designations for special envoys -- including Steve Witkoff, Ric Grenell and Mark Burnett. He also signed appointments for 28 sub-Cabinet level officials, including department general counsels.
