最新报道:According to a report from Bijie.com, U.S. Treasury Secretary Benson said on Monday that the Federal Reserve is and should remain independent, but noted that the institution has "made many mistakes" and defended President Trump's right to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud. Trump has been criticizing the Fed and its Chairman Jerome Powell for months for failing to cut interest rates, and recently attacked Powell over the costly renovation of the central bank's Washington headquarters. "The Fed should be independent. The Fed is independent, but I think they've made many mistakes," Benson said in an interview at a restaurant in the suburbs of Washington.
