Is the Fed chairman, Jay Powell, going to make it through the weekend? There is talk that he is being forced to resign. President Trump, of course, is on

President Donald Trump has frequently voiced dissatisfaction with the Fed’s “wait-and-see" approach to lowering interest rates under Powell.

Powell has said politics don't play a part in Fed rate decisions. He and his colleagues have held the key overnight borrowing rate in place since December, though markets largely expect a cut is on the way not at the Fed's July meeting, but in September.

The White House has stepped up its attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, criticizing him over renovations at the central bank's Washington, D.C. headquarters.

Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender told Yahoo Finance he would like to see Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell step down from the central bank's Board of Governors after his term as chair ends next May.

Trump hopes to get lower rates by replacing Fed Chair Jerome Powell with someone who would do what the president wants. But Powell’s term as chair does not end until May 2026. He’s insisted he won’t resign early.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Chairman Jerome Powell to resign immediately, and renewed his calls for the central bank to lower interest rates.

A senior Trump administration official said Friday that Fed Chair Jerome Powell is “considering resigning” as pressure grows for an investigation into whether he lied to Congress about the central bank’s “Palace of Versailles” renovations to its headquarters in Washington, DC.
