【Hassett: Trump's Opinions Lack Weight, Fed's Independence is Paramount】
White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett stated that if he were chosen to lead the Federal Reserve, he would consider President Trump's policy opinions, but the Fed's interest rate decisions would remain independent.
Kevin Hassett said on CBS's "Face the Nation" last Sunday that the President has very strong and well-founded views on the Fed's actions. However, he added that the Fed's responsibility is to maintain independence and work collaboratively with board members and FOMC colleagues to reach a collective consensus on interest rate levels.
Kevin Hassett was responding to questions regarding Trump's comments from last Friday. Trump had stated at the time that he should be able to offer suggestions on the interest rates set by the Fed. For months, Trump and his senior advisers have been pressuring Fed Chairman Powell to cut interest rates, while also weighing candidates to succeed Powell. #美联储降息 #美SEC推动加密创新监管
