Trump Says Fed Chair Jerome Powell 'Should Resign Immediately'
HuffPost
The president has been angry with Powell over the U.S. central bank's hesitance to succumb to his demand for lowering interest rates.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday dramatically escalated his rhetoric against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, calling for the resignation of the U.S. central bank chief.
Trump cited a Bloomberg article reporting that Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency who has frequently criticized Powell, called for a prompt investigation into Powell, accusing him of delivering “deceptive Senate testimony” on the Fed building’s renovation project.
Trump seemed to endorse Pulte’s statement, urging Powell to step down from his role.
“‘Too Late’ should resign immediately!!!” Trump wrote on this Truth Social platform.
Powell’s term is set to expire in May 2026, but Trump is already mulling his replacement.
