最新报道:U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reportedly intervened to prevent President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in 2018, according to sources familiar with the matter. Mnuchin advised Trump that removing Powell would destabilize financial markets and could trigger legal challenges, as the Fed chair's position is designed to be independent from political influence. The tensions arose amid Trump's public criticism of Powell for raising interest rates, which the president claimed was hurting economic growth. Mnuchin's behind-the-scenes efforts helped maintain stability during a period of market volatility and preserved the central bank's traditional independence from White House pressure.
