Trump says Fed board is 'maybe a little bit hostile' and vows to keep pressing Lisa Cook removal case
AI Market Summary
Trump's renewed criticism of the Fed and vow to continue pursuing Governor Lisa Cook's removal reintroduce headline risk around central-bank independence, despite no immediate policy change. Warsh's public emphasis on rule of law and the dual mandate may limit near-term market disruption, but the episode can raise risk premia across rates and FX as investors reassess the probability of political pressure influencing future FOMC decisions.

In an interview with CNBC, President Donald Trump said the Federal Reserve’s board is “maybe a little bit hostile,” reiterated his pressure on Chair Kevin Warsh, and vowed to continue his push to remove Governor Lisa Cook. The remarks follow a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that Trump was wrong to try to oust Cook last August because she did not receive due process. Warsh said he would respect the court’s decision and the Fed’s independence, while reaffirming the institution’s focus on price stability and its dual mandate. The episode has not triggered any immediate shift in monetary policy, but has reinforced market concerns about political interference risks.
