U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has called on Dominique Strauss-Kahn to resign as chief of the IMF because he is "obviously not in the position to run the IMF”—a call that European financial ministers have repeated. The IMF will contact Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers Tuesday to discuss his future at the organization; European officials are believed to want the French financial minister, Christine Lagarde, to replace him.
