#TrumpVsPowell :| Power Struggle: When the President Clashes with the Governor
In a tense American scene, the conflict between President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is back in the spotlight. But this time, the struggle is no longer just media squabbles or angry tweets... it has turned into a genuine battle of powers between an elected president and an independent monetary institution.
Trump Returns... with a Strong Decision!
Since returning to the White House in January 2025, it has been clear that Trump has not forgotten his old struggle with Powell. He has publicly criticized the Fed's policies and accused it of slowing the economy through high interest rates.
In a move described by some as "direct pressure," Trump expressed his desire to change the Fed's policy to align with his economic vision: rapid growth, low interest rates, and a competitive dollar.
Jerome Powell: Independent Employee or the President's Adversary?
Although the position of Fed Chair is technically "independent," political reality does not always recognize theoretical boundaries.
Powell, whose term ends in 2026, is now facing unprecedented pressure. Trump's recent statements, in which he described the Fed's performance as "weak and inappropriate," have raised questions:
Will Powell hold firm? Or is dismissal on the table?
Impact on Markets
