US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin Calls for Scrutiny of the Federal Reserve

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has expressed the need for a comprehensive review of the Federal Reserve (the Fed), highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding the central bank's independence and its role in the US economy. Mnuchin's remarks came in a television interview, where he declined to comment directly on reports that he had advised President Trump against firing Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

However, Mnuchin indicated the necessity of evaluating the Fed's performance as an institution, criticizing what he described as spreading panic about the impact of tariffs, while emphasizing that they have not caused a significant increase in inflation to date. These statements align with increasing criticism leveled by President Trump and several senior officials in his administration towards the Fed's policies.

In a related context, Trump denied press reports that Mnuchin had convinced him not to fire Powell before the end of his term, warning that such a move could lead to economic and financial turmoil. Trump emphasized his deep understanding of market dynamics and the impact of economic decisions on the future of the United States.

Disagreements over Monetary Policy and Spending

These developments come amid escalating criticism of the Fed, including scrutiny of its $2.5 billion headquarters renovation project. White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought criticized what he described as the Fed's mismanagement, citing budget overruns in the renovation project.

It is worth noting that firing the Fed chairman before the end of his term would be an unprecedented move and could lead to a legal battle that could reach the Supreme Court of the United States, further increasing political and economic uncertainty.

Political and Legal Context

These developments come in a tense political context, as Trump has filed a lawsuit against media mogul Rupert Murdoch over an article published by the Wall Street Journal. These judicial actions reflect the charged political climate and the challenges facing media and economic institutions in the United States.
