Donald Trump has beaten to the chairman of the American Federal Reserve for not lowering the interest rates, which states that the termination of Jerome Powell cannot come fast enough. “
In a social media post on Thursday, the US President called on the Federal Reserve to lower the interest rates, so that the concern that Mr Trump could try to expel Mr Powell and to undermine the independence of the institution.
It came after Mr Powell had released a statement that warned Mr Trump’s rate policy, the US economy could undermine.
“[Mr Powell] should have lowered the interest rates, such as the ECB [European Central Bank]Long ago, but he should definitely lower them now, “placed Mr Trump on his social social platform.
“The termination of Powell cannot come fast enough!”

The FED, such as the reserve bank of Australia, is independent of the government and uses inflation and unemployment data to determine the interest rates for lenders.
Powell told a group of high -level business leaders on Wednesday who “very generally understood and supported in Washington”.
After promising, he pulled applause to oppose political pressure when determining the interest rates.
Mr. Trump said in his position that Mr Powell “was always too late and wrong”, and criticized the speech that the FED chair gave on Wednesday and called it “a different and typical, complete mess”.
Economists less sure about the future of Powell
Officials in the Federal Reserve now refer to Mr Trump’s tariff role as an economic “shock” of a species without clear historic parallel.
Some nourished policymakers fear that the impact on jobs can come quickly and have said that in that case they would be prepared for rapid cuts.
Others are concerned that the policy of the president and the irregular handling of the issue can lower inflation expectations and force higher interest rates.
Mr. Powell’s term of office as Fed Chair proceeds in May 2026, but Mr. Trump has threatened to dismiss him occasionally.
In response to the last position of the President, economists said they were worried about how far the Lord Trump would go.
“Earlier I thought the chances were very much against Trump who tried to remove Powell, but my confidence is blurred,” Natixis Chief us -economist Christopher Hode told Reuters.
“The Bottom Line is the parameters of potential policy results have become larger and although I still think Powell will be retained until his term ends, I am less sure that I was earlier.”
But Homrich Berg -Marketstrateeg Ross Bramwell said he was skeptical, Mr. Trump would make a movement against Mr. Powell.
“He would get some push back from other republicans in the Senate and the house … even the public opinion would probably prevent because most people have faith in the market because of an independent Fed,” he said.
“Trump can increase his vocal criticism, but I don’t think trying to remove him is probably.”
