The ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell has escalated, with Trump threatening to remove Powell from his position. However, Republican Senator John Kennedy has spoken out against Trump’s attacks, stating that no president has the authority to fire the head of the US central bank.

Kennedy, a member of the Senate banking committee that oversees the Federal Reserve, emphasized the importance of the Fed’s independence, stating that the president should not have the power to remove the Federal Reserve chairman. This comes in response to Trump’s recent comments suggesting that he believes he can dismiss Powell at will.

The tension between Trump and Powell has been mounting in recent months, particularly over the Fed’s decision not to cut interest rates despite pressure from the White House. Powell and other rate-setters have expressed concerns about the impact of Trump’s tariffs on economic growth and inflation, leading to a strained relationship between the president and the central bank.

Despite Trump’s threats to remove Powell from his position, the Fed chair has vowed to stay in office until the end of his term in May 2026. Kennedy commended Powell for his commitment to keeping inflation in check, stating that Powell will do what he believes is right to maintain the stability of the economy.

Inflation remains a key concern for the Federal Reserve, with prices rising at their highest level since the early 1980s. Some officials at the central bank fear that Trump’s tariffs could drive annual price increases up to 5 percent later this year if implemented on a large scale.

Austan Goolsbee, president of the Chicago Fed, warned of the potential impact of tariffs on economic activity, noting that many businesses are engaging in pre-emptive purchasing to mitigate the effects of potential tariffs. Goolsbee also highlighted the importance of central bank independence, stating that undermining the credibility of the Fed could have negative consequences for the economy.

As the debate over the Federal Reserve’s independence continues, it is essential to recognize the importance of maintaining a strong and stable financial system. The ongoing tensions between Trump and Powell underscore the need for a cooperative and independent central bank that can effectively manage economic challenges for the benefit of all Americans.
