Trump had openly discussed Powell as a possible successor to Nikki Haley, the current US ambassador to the United States, who announced Tuesday his resignation at the end of the year.

"Dina would like that," said the president to the press Tuesday inside his office aboard Air Force One.

Powell left the White House early in the year after serving as the Assistant National Security Adviser focused on planning and policy in the Middle East.

The manager did not explain why Powell was no longer in the study. But the media reported earlier Thursday stated that she wished to stay at Goldman Sachs, where she currently sits on the Management Committee.

Powell, who once served in the George W. Bush administration, was considered a firm hand at the Trump White House, but she was also a lightning rod for criticism.

Trump said there were five names on his shortlist to succeed Haley, who has been US ambassador since the president's inauguration. Trump told reporters Tuesday Powell was on the shortlist, but declined to name other names.
