#TrumpVsPowell The recent confrontation between Donald Trump and Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, brings back into focus the tension between politics and the economy in the United States. Trump has openly criticized Powell's decisions regarding interest rates, accusing him of hindering economic growth and not sufficiently supporting his economic agenda. For his part, Powell maintains the independence of the central bank, arguing that his decisions are based on data and not political pressures. This rivalry could intensify in the run-up to the elections, where the economy will be a central issue.
