Former President Donald Trump ne aaj confirm kiya ke unke Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ab Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell ki jagah candidate nahi rahe. Trump ne CNBC ko bataya:
> “I love Scott, but he wants to stay where he is… Maine us se kal raat poocha ‘Kya ye role chahte ho?’ Usne kaha: ‘Nope, I want to stay where I am.’”
✅ Trump Ki New Shortlist:
Kevin Warsh – Former Fed Governor
Kevin Hassett – White House Economist
2 anonymous candidates bhi list mein hain
Trump ne Powell par phir se criticism dohraya, unhe “numbskull” aur “complete moron” kehkar rate cuts mein delay ka zimmedar thehraya.
📉 Federal Reserve Under Pressure:
Fed ne hal hi mein interest rates ko stable rakha hai, jabke kuch members, including Governor Christopher Waller aur Vice Chair Michelle Bowman, rate cut ke favour mein thay.
Saath hi, Governor Adriana Kugler ne resign kar diya hai, jis se ek aur khali seat create hui hai. Trump ne kaha hai wo 4 months ke liye interim appointment karenge—shayad ye trial run ho kisi future Fed Chair ke liye jab Powell ka term 2026 mein khatam hoga.
🤝 Trade Talks Mein Bessent Ka New Focus:
Fed Chair ki race se out hone ke bawajood, Bessent trade talks lead kar rahe hain—especially U.S.-China tariff agreements par jo 12 August ke deadline se pehle finalize hone hain. Sweden mein unki Chinese officials ke saath recent meetings kaafi crucial rahi.
Kevin Hassett ne confirm kiya ke Bessent ab bhi next Fed Chair candidates ko vet kar rahe hain—iska matlab hai unka role ab bhi powerful hai, bas behind-the-scenes.
