最新报道:Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and former President Donald Trump discussed economic policy during a private meeting at Trump's renovated Virginia estate. Sources say the two-hour conversation touched on inflation, interest rates, and potential Fed reforms, though no policy commitments were made. The unusual meeting between the current central bank chief and former president comes amid heightened political scrutiny of Fed independence. White House officials declined to comment on whether President Biden was briefed about the discussion. Trump's spokesperson called it "a productive exchange of views on strengthening America's economy." Powell has previously emphasized the Fed's nonpartisan mandate to maintain price stability and maximum employment.
