World Bank president Jim Yong Kim abruptly resigns (Financial Times)

January 07, 2019

From the article:

Scott Morris, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development and a former US Treasury official under Barack Obama, said the decision over Mr Kim’s successor would be “more contested than it ever has been”, and that it was not a given that a nominee pushed by Mr. Trump would prevail. 

There were “rough waters ahead” for the Trump administration in trying to figure this out, he said.
