“Donald Trump downplayed his clash with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell over cost overruns during a tour of the central bank’s renovation project on Thursday, making it clear that he saw the issue of lower interest rates as a more pressing concern,” Bloomberg reports.
“After a tour that saw Trump and Powell publicly trade barbs over the cost of the project, Trump maintained there was ‘no tension’ with the Fed chief and indicated that problems with the project probably weren’t reason enough to fire the central bank head.”
Said Trump: “To do that is a big move, and I just don’t think it’s necessary.”
