最新报道:Former President Donald Trump criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over the Fed's $1.2 billion headquarters renovation, calling it "wasteful spending" amid economic challenges. Trump, who appointed Powell in 2018, accused the Fed of poor financial management while raising interest rates that impact Americans. The renovation project, approved in 2022, aims to modernize the 88-year-old Marriner Eccles Building with seismic upgrades and sustainability features. Powell defended the expenditure as necessary for long-term operational needs, stating the Fed follows strict budgeting processes. The criticism comes as Trump positions himself as a potential 2024 presidential candidate focused on fiscal responsibility.
