President Donald Trump and other administration officials are heading to the Federal Reserve today to learn about the central bank buildings’ $2.5 billion renovation.
Fed. Chair Jerome Powell has been under fire from Trump for months for leading the Fed in holding fast on interest rates — declining to continue last year’s reductions due to concern over the inflationary impact of the administration’s tariff hikes.
In recent days, Trump has said that he did not plan to fire Powell before the end of his term — but has not fully closed the door over removing him over his handling of the renovation project.
