Trump’s Fed Building Tour Ends With a Relief Signal for Powell
President Donald Trump’s unprecedented walk-through of the Federal Reserve’s now-controversial building renovation project with Jerome Powell ended with a sign of relief for the central bank chief who’s been under pressure for months to slash interest rates.
There’s “no tension” with Powell, Trump said after the Thursday tour — which featured the two men publicly trading barbs over the cost of a project that the president’s allies have used to blast the Fed chair’s leadership.
