Trump and Warsh: A Conversation Without Discussion of Interest Rates
US President Donald Trump has been spotted frequently calling Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh since his confirmation, according to sources. The president reportedly contacts Warsh in bursts, going quiet for long periods of time and then calling several times in just days.
The pair have discussed various topics, including the impact of artificial intelligence on the economy and the war in Iran. However, they have not spoken about interest rates since Warsh was confirmed as Federal Reserve Chairman.
Trump has also been known to praise Warsh's appearance on television, calling him a 'brilliant guy' despite the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged. This is not an isolated incident, as Trump has previously complimented several men for their looks, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
