Fed chief Jerome Powell says he would not resign if Trump asked him to
Source: CNBC
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Friday he would not resign from his post if President Donald Trump asked him to.
"If the president asked you to resign, would you do it?" The moderator at the American Economic Association's annual meeting in Atlanta asked Powell, to which he replied, "No."
Powell also said he had not received any direct communication from the White House about unhappiness with the central bank's rate policy, nor had any meeting between the president and him been scheduled.
"I would say that meetings between presidents and Fed chairs do happen," was all that Powell said when asked if he would meet with the president.
