According to a report by Golden Finance, US President Trump once again talked about the fate of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell in an interview on Friday local time. He stated that he is "very likely" not to dismiss Powell before his term expires, as some have advised him not to do so on the grounds that "it would disrupt the market". I won't hesitate to withdraw him for a second, "Trump said," but they say it will disrupt the market. Anyway, he will be leaving in seven or eight months, and I will replace him with my own people. "Earlier on Friday, Trump also said Powell should resign like Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler.
