Jerome Powell, the Chair of the Fed, stated at a press conference that he would not resign if requested by Donald Trump, who is set to take office as U.S. President on January 20, 2025. He also emphasized that the White House lacks the authority to dismiss him, according to BBC reports.

During his previous term as president, Trump contemplated dismissing the Fed chair due to a rise in the key interest rate. While campaigning for the 2024 election, he informed Bloomberg that he would permit the Fed chair to finish the term, provided the policies were in line with his perspectives. Jerome Powell’s tenure as Fed Chair is scheduled to conclude on May 15, 2026.
