President Donald Trump is calling for the Federal Reserve’s board of governors to usurp the power of Fed Chair Jerome Powell

President Donald Trump claimed Friday he “most likely” will not fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, despite persistently goading him to leave his post. Trump has publicly criticized the Fed chair for months for keeping interest rates steady despite the president’s insistence that Powell lower them.

President Trump continued his verbal attacks against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling him "stubborn" and saying the Federal Reserve's board of governors should take control.
