Jerome Powell: Trump calls on US central bank head to quit immediately
US President Donald Trump has called for the chair of the Federal Reserve to quit right away, in an escalation of his attacks on Jerome Powell.
“‘Too Late’ should resign immediately!!!”, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
He also included a link to a news article about a US federal housing regulator calling for Mr Powell to be investigated over his testimony about renovations to the central bank’s Washington headquarters.
Trump nominated Mr Powell to be the Fed chair during his first term. Since then, he has repeatedly criticised him for not cutting interest rates but it is unclear whether the president has the authority to remove him from the post.
Despite the president’s continued criticism of Mr Powell, he said earlier this year that had “no intention of firing him”.
Trump wants the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates to help boost economic growth.
Mr Powell said on Tuesday that the Fed would have cut rates already had it not been for the impact of Trump’s tariff policies.
When asked during a meeting of central bankers in Portugal whether US rates would have been cut again this year if the administration had not announced its plan to sharply increase tariffs on countries around the world Mr Powell responded, “I think that’s right.”
The US Federal Reserve declined to comment about Trump’s remarks when contacted by the BBC.
Mr Powell was renominated to the position by then-President Joe Biden and his current term is set to end in May 2026.
Ahead of Trump’s return to power at the start of this year, Mr Powell said he would not step down if the president asked him to and that it is “not permitted under law” for the White House to force him out.
Board members of independent federal agencies like the Federal Reserve can only be forced out before their terms expire “for cause,” according to a landmark US Supreme Court ruling in 1935.
However, Trump has often challenged political norms, including firing some independent regulators, actions that have been contested in court.
