最新报道:According to a report from Coinnet, U.S. Treasury Secretary Benson defended President Trump's authority to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud on Monday. When asked whether the administration's dismissal of Cook was intended to create an opening for Trump to appoint a majority of the board, Benson asked, "Or does it mean someone has to fill the Fed's role?" Benson emphasized that the Fed's board structure, comprised of regional Fed presidents, means the president cannot "manipulate the board's lineup." Benson denied that the Trump administration's actions had disrupted the market: "The S&P has reached new highs, bond yields are stable, and we haven't seen any negative impact yet." He stated that if the allegations against Cook are true, she should be removed from her position or resign, noting that she has not denied the allegations. Benson urged the Senate to quickly confirm Milan as interim replacement for Adrienne Kugler, who resigned on August 1st.
