Powell probe stirs GOP concern, threat to stop Trump nominee https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/13/world/politics/powell-probe-gop-trump-nominee/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #federalreserve #jeromepowell #us #donaldtrump
Trump is now waging war against his own national bank, The Federal Reserve.
The Chair of The Federal Reserve explains that Trump is now suing him in an attempt to force him to set the US interest rates based on Trump’s feelings rather than economic responsibility.
I really hope this man can hold the fort until The Midterms because if not, the US economy has a really dark outlook.
Revealing what has happened is quite a clever move by #jeromepowell . He is giving notice to the financial markets so that lenders can if they wish reduce their exposure to #us bonds . And arguably markets tend to work better when all participants are well informed!
Fed chair Jerome Powell revealed Sunday that the Justice Department had subpoenaed the U.S. central bank, blasting the move as part of President Donald Trump's pressure campaign. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/12/economy/us-fed-powell-subpoena-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #federalreserve #globaleconomy #jeromepowell #us #donaldtrump
