President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh frequently discuss the economy, according to National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.
Hassett made these comments on August 7, 2026, providing more insight into phone conversations between Trump and Warsh since Warsh took over as Fed chief in May.
Hassett stated he doesn't listen in on the calls but assured that he is 'sure' the president does not pressure the Fed chief on interest-rate decisions.
