Trump Denies Rumors of Replacing Powell but Does Not Rule Out Any Possibility

Published at Jul 17, 2025 12:17 pm
US President Trump said on the 16th that he does not currently plan to replace Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Powell, but does not rule out any possibility.

When asked by the media whether he would replace Powell, he replied, "He’s doing a terrible job, but no, I am not talking about it right now. I don’t rule out any possibility, but I think it’s very unlikely."

He also pointed out that under any circumstances, he could replace the Fed chair when Powell’s term expires next year.

According to earlier US media reports, Trump has already gained political support for firing Powell. He told a group of Republican lawmakers that he intended to replace Powell.

A White House official also told US financial media CNBC: "They (the Republican lawmakers) agree with removing him (Powell). The President hinted he will do it soon."
