WASHINGTON (AFP) – Top US administration officials Thursday vehemently denied a report by the Reuters news agency that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in talks to become the next head of the World Bank.
"It's 100 percent untrue, Reuters is wrong," Philippe Reines, a close advisor to Clinton, told AFP.
"To be crystal clear," he added in a second statement, "Secretary Clinton has not had any conversations with the president, the White House or anyone about moving to the World Bank.
"She has expressed absolutely no interest in the job. She would not take it if offered."
White House spokesman Jay Carney also chipped in, saying: "The story is completely untrue."
She’ll take the job, it’s going to control the world’s purse strings and probably have more power going forward than the POTUS!
