最新报道:Bessent Rejects Trump's Call to Remove Fed Chair Powell Over Economic Stability and Legal Risks Former White House economic adviser Gary Cohn dismissed Donald Trump's suggestion to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell if re-elected, citing potential economic instability and legal complications. Cohn emphasized that such a move could unsettle markets and disrupt the Fed's independence. Trump had previously criticized Powell's interest rate policies, but Cohn argued that abrupt leadership changes could harm long-term financial confidence. Legal experts also noted that removing Powell without cause would face significant hurdles under current statutes. The debate highlights tensions between political influence and central bank autonomy in monetary policy decisions.
