On December 15, Kevin Hassett—Chair of the White House National Economic Council—said he would weigh President Trump’s policy views if tapped to lead the Federal Reserve, but emphasized the central bank’s interest rate decisions would remain independent. Appearing on CBS’s *Face the Nation* Sunday, Hassett—Trump’s top White House economic adviser—stated: “The president has a very strong, well-founded view on what we should do.” “But ultimately, the Fed’s duty is to maintain independence, collaborate with fellow Board members and FOMC colleagues to reach consensus on interest rate levels,” he added. Hassett’s Sunday remarks aimed to clarify that Trump is just one of many experts to consult, and the president can only offer advice in the end. He pushed back against the idea that the president’s voice carries equal weight to FOMC voters, noting policymakers are free to reject his views and “vote differently.” (FXStreet)
