US President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve President Jerome Powell exchanged frosty words during the public visit to the Federal Reserve’s $ 2.5 billion renovation project. The pair disagreed in front of the cameras about the project’s timeline and cost.
This was his first public meeting as Trump launched a widespread demonstration against Powell and Federal Reserve to deny low interest rates.
Former President George W. Bush marked the first visit of a sitting president for the Fed after attending the swearing in of Ben Bernanke as Chairman in 2006.
