In his first broadcast interview since the election, President-elect Donald Trump put to bed the notion he’d try to fire the chair of the Federal Reserve before his term expires in 2026. NBC’s Kristen Welker asked Trump during the hour-long exchange if he would try to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
“No, I don’t think so,” Trump replied. “I think if I told him to, he would, but if I asked him to, he probably wouldn’t, but if I told him to, he would.”
“You don’t have plans to do that, right?” Welker followed up.
