特朗普再向美联储主席施压，威胁若不辞职或将其解雇
Read, Watch or Listen
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on April 15 renewed public pressure on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he would fire Powell if the chair does not leave when his term ends on May 15. Trump reiterated the administration's probe into the Fed headquarters renovation and confirmed his nomination of former central banker Kevin Warsh as successor. This week federal prosecutors made an unannounced visit to the Fed construction site tied to a reported $2.5 billion renovation and were turned away, and a DOJ deputy previously told a judge investigators had not found evidence of a crime. Warsh faces a Senate Banking Committee confirmation hearing next week, and lawmakers from both parties have voiced concerns about the probe.

如果凯文·沃什被确认为美联储主席，特朗普政府将从中受益，因为他是总统的提名人，很可能会与政府在货币和监管方面的偏好保持一致。
杰罗姆·鲍威尔面临职业生涯的动荡，以及因总统公开威胁解雇和司法部对美联储总部翻修进行的持续调查，他可能被免去美联储主席一职。
