Will Trump's pick to lead US central bank get him the change he wants?
AI Summary
Donald Trump is reportedly nominating Kevin Warsh to replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chairman when Powell's term ends in May. Warsh, a conservative with prior experience at the Fed and on Wall Street, was previously considered for the role. Trump has publicly favored lower interest rates, while Warsh has historically supported higher rates, creating potential conflict. Despite this, Warsh's supporters believe he understands the importance of the Fed's independence from political influence. The nomination has drawn praise from establishment figures but also criticism regarding Warsh's past policy stances and potential influence from his personal connections to Trump. It remains to be seen whether Warsh's appointment will align the Fed's policies with Trump's desired economic outcomes.
