Trump Says White House Near Fed Board Majority, Calls for Lower Rates

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the White House will "shortly" hold a majority of seats on the Federal Reserve Board once pending appointments are completed. He added that the administration is considering moving Miran—currently expected to join the board—to a longer-term position, which would extend the nominee’s tenure at the central bank. Trump again pressed for monetary easing, saying interest rates "must come down" to reduce housing costs. The remarks suggest the president aims to steer the Fed toward a more accommodative stance as his influence over the board grows.
