🚨🚨 #PowellCrisis 🚨🚨

Latest on the Powell Drama – France Weighs In 🇫🇷

France sounds the alarm: French Finance Minister Eric Lombard just issued a serious warning — if the U.S. goes ahead and fires Fed Chair Jerome Powell, it could wreck global trust in the U.S. dollar and send economic shockwaves worldwide. Not just a domestic issue anymore. 🌍

Trump’s turning up the heat 🔥: Former President Trump is pushing hard for Powell’s removal, saying his “termination can’t come soon enough.” This follows Trump’s long-standing frustration with Powell over interest rate decisions.

Legally messy ⚖️: It’s not even clear if the President can fire Powell. The law only allows it “for cause” — and policy disagreements might not count. There’s also a Supreme Court case in the background that could change how much control presidents have over independent institutions.

Markets on edge 📉: Investors are spooked. Economists warn that removing Powell could trigger market panic — think stock sell-offs, a weakened dollar, and a possible global ripple effect.

Warren steps in 🧠: Senator Elizabeth Warren is warning that this kind of interference could lead to a full-blown market crash. She and others are rallying to protect the Fed’s independence.
