#PowellRemarks

Recently, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has been trending due to escalating tensions with President Donald Trump over monetary policy. Trump has publicly criticized Powell, calling for his "termination" and urging faster interest rate cuts, claiming Powell’s policies hinder economic growth. Powell, however, has maintained the Fed’s independence, warning that Trump’s aggressive tariff policies could fuel inflation and slow growth, complicating the Fed’s dual mandate of stable prices and maximum employment. Despite market volatility and Trump’s threats, Powell remains steadfast, intending to serve his full term until May 2026, while navigating economic uncertainties. This feud has sparked widespread debate online.[](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-fed-chair-powells-termination-cant-come-fast-enough-2025-04-17/)[](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-fed-chair-powell-103507759.html)[](https://apnews.com/article/trump-powell-federal-reserve-fed-termination-b6148c8048dda538a6ca3b5a270fd09e)
