Trump Suggests Fed Chair Powell Would Step Down if Asked, Despite Powell’s Commitment to Full Term

Washington: President Donald Trump said Thursday that he believes Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell would leave his post if Trump asked him to, despite Powell’s repeated statements that he intends to serve out his full term.

Speaking to reporters, Trump expressed frustration with Powell, criticizing him for being “too late” in taking necessary actions. “I’m not happy with him,” Trump said, implying a lack of confidence in Powell’s leadership.

Powell, whose term runs through May 2026, has consistently maintained that he would not resign if pressured by the president, emphasizing the Fed’s independence and his commitment to fulfilling his duties.
