There is speculation about potential political pressure from the President on Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh, similar to pressure exerted on Jerome Powell. While the President has reportedly been in touch with Warsh, it is unclear if this influences rate decisions. Warsh has maintained his independence so far.
“We know that Trump has been in touch with Warsh, I think regularly.”
“Is there political pressure? Yeah, I think there is. You know, I think it'd be silly to assume there isn't.”
“So far, he's kind of stood by his side and he's made it very clear he's letting Kevin Warsh be independent and do his own thing.”
