#TrumpVsPowell The conflict between Donald Trump and Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve (Fed), revolves around monetary policy. Trump, favoring low interest rates to stimulate the economy, criticizes Powell for his refusal to lower rates, accusing him of hindering growth. Powell, defending the independence of the Fed, insists on a data-driven approach, highlighting that Trump's tariffs risk increasing inflation, making rate cuts inappropriate. This standoff, exacerbated by public attacks from Trump, threatens market stability and rekindles the debate on the autonomy of the Fed.
