最新报道:Stephen Miran, President Trump's nominee for the Federal Reserve Board, faces Senate scrutiny over concerns his White House role as Council of Economic Advisers chair could compromise Fed independence. During a September 4 hearing, Miran pledged autonomy if confirmed, proposing unpaid leave from his current position for the four-month term but returning afterward unless appointed longer. Critics, including Senator Jack Reed, called the arrangement "ridiculous," warning it risks political influence over monetary policy. Miran, who previously advocated shortening Fed governors' 14-year terms, defended his reform proposals as separate from political alignment. His confirmation could solidify Trump's Fed majority ahead of key rate decisions.
