WASHINGTON: US President George W Bush and top economic aides will not comment publicly Tuesday on financial markets turmoil after closed-door talks on the upheaval, the White House said.
"We decided it would be best to limit public comment about markets today, and so there will not be press coverage of the President's Working Group meeting this afternoon," said spokesman Tony Fratto.
Bush "looks forward to the briefing by the Working Group," which comprises US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Christopher Cox, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission acting chairman Walter Lukken, said Fratto.
