鲍威尔曾称不会主动辞职，其美联储主席任期将于2026年5月届满

<Odaily> Planet Daily News: Powell previously stated that U.S. law does not allow the president to remove him from office. Even if Trump requests his resignation, he will not voluntarily step down and plans to complete his full term, continuing to serve as the Federal Reserve Chairman until May 2026. Additionally, Powell's term as a member of the Federal Reserve Board will continue until January 2028. He also stated this week that he believes the case currently being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court is unlikely to apply to the Federal Reserve. (Reuters)

Powell has said he will not resign voluntarily, and his term as Fed chairman will expire in May 2026.

<PANews> On April 19, according to Jinshi News, the Wall Street Journal revealed that for several months, U.S. President Trump has been privately discussing the possibility of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, but he has not yet made a final decision on whether to remove him before the end of Powell's term next year. Sources said that at a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, Trump discussed with former Federal Reserve Board member Kevin Warsh the potential of firing Powell before his term ends and possibly choosing Warsh as his replacement.

According to informed sources, Warsh suggested not firing Powell and believed the Fed Chairman should be allowed to complete his term without interference. At a meeting in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump stated that he believes he has the right to remove Powell. Trump said: "If I want him to go, he will go quickly, believe me." Trump also expressed his dissatisfaction with Powell. Any move by Trump to fire Powell would almost certainly be submitted to the Supreme Court. This could cast a shadow of scrutiny on Powell's final departure, and any prospect of a Fed Chairman being removed due to policy disputes could potentially unsettle financial markets.

The White House declined to comment. Warsh did not respond to requests for comment. </PANews>

The Federal Reserve has long prided itself on its independence from political pressure. However, this tradition is facing new stress as President Donald Trump intensifies his attacks on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for refusing to cut interest rates.

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday: "If I wanted him gone, he would be gone very quickly, believe me." The president further emphasized on his social media platform Truth Social: "Powell's firing is long overdue!" he wrote.

Could Trump really fire Powell? What economic risks would that bring?

<Odaily> Planet News: Politico White House reporter Megan Messerly wrote that U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent privately warned that replacing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell could lead to market instability. According to reports, Trump also recognized this point. Despite his continued dissatisfaction with Powell, based on Messerly's statement, Powell's position currently seems to be secure. Powell has consistently stated that he will not resign, and others have said that Trump does not have the authority to dismiss him. (Jintian)
