Dec 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will soon launch a final round of interviews for Federal Reserve chair, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

The administration officials said that National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett remains in pole position to succeed Powell as chair in May, the newspaper said.

Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
