[Potential successor to the Fed chairman, Waller, does not welcome Trump's idea of ​​interfering with the independence of the Fed] Golden Finance reported that former US President Trump wanted the White House to have a say in interest rates, and a Fed governor who is considered likely to succeed Powell as chairman was quite unimpressed by the idea. Earlier in September, Christopher Waller was asked about Trump's views, and he pointed out that Congress and financial markets strongly support the Fed's autonomy in setting interest rates. "If the president wants to complain about it, he can do so like everyone else," Waller said. "He has the right to make those damn opinions, but that doesn't mean I have to listen or adjust policy."
