Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: Trump Is Not Going to Force Powell Out of the Fed
Jerome Powell's position as Federal Reserve Chairman is secure, and Donald Trump is unlikely to attempt to remove him or alter the Fed's autonomy. Despite speculation about potential conflicts, both Trump and the Fed appear aligned on favoring lower interest rates, reducing the chances of a confrontation.
Critics often exaggerate the potential for Trump to undermine the Fed, interpreting his comments as threats to its independence. However, any significant changes are more likely to come through Congressional oversight rather than direct presidential action. The Fed's independence is expected to remain intact.
