The White House has escalated its criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, accusing him of mismanagement. While President Trump has frequently urged Powell to lower interest rates, the latest attack broadened the scope of complaints, citing the ongoing renovation of the Federal Reserve headquarters as evidence of poor leadership. This new line of attack suggests a deepening rift between the White House and the independent central bank, raising concerns about the politicization of monetary policy and the potential impact on the U.S. economy.
