President-elect Donald Trump will meet with Goldman Sachs COO and President Gary Cohn on Tuesday, according to Sean Spicer, a spokesman for Trump's transition team.

Cohn is the No. 2 executive at the firm, behind CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

The president-elect was highly critical of the Wall Street bank throughout his campaign.

He condemned Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for her ties to Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms — and for earning hundreds of thousands of dollars for speeches given to the global investment bank and its clients.

Trump said in October that Clinton "meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of US sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends and her donors."

To that, Blankfein said in an October CNBC interview that "if there's some secret international cabal, I've been left out of the party."

Blankfein said in an October interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria that he supported Clinton.

Since winning the election, Trump has been considering a number of current and former Wall Street executives for his Cabinet, including the former Goldman Sachs banker Steven Mnuchin and current JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon for Treasury secretary, according to multiple reports.

Steve Bannon, a senior adviser to Trump, is also a Goldman Sachs alum.
