#美联储降息

Hassett stated: Trump's opinions "carry no weight," the independence of the Federal Reserve's decision-making is paramount.

Hassett clearly indicated that even if selected to lead the Federal Reserve, President Trump's opinions would be "weightless" if lacking basis, and ultimately, interest rate decisions must remain independent and reached by consensus of the committee.

If he is chosen to lead the Federal Reserve, he would consider President Trump's policy opinions, but the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions will remain independent.

Hassett's statement last Sunday attempted to clarify that Trump is just one of many experts that can be consulted, and he can only provide advice.

He will have no weight.
