🏛️ Power Struggle: Powell's "Stay" and the White House's "Pressure"



The Department of Justice withdrawing its criminal investigation into Powell appears to be a "way out," but in fact, it is a crucial step for the White House to clear obstacles for a personnel change. As the chair's term ends on May 15, Powell faces a dilemma: to comply with White House pressure and leave completely, or to "stay" as a board member during the transition?

• White House offensive: Nominating Kevin Waugh, who advocates for "regime change," aiming to reshape the Federal Reserve.

• Powell's defense: If he leaves immediately, Trump will quickly gain control of the majority of the board (7 seats to 3); if he stays temporarily, he can buy time for the central bank's independence.

At this week's FOMC meeting, every word from Powell will be a silent response to this "pressure." This is no longer a simple handover but a direct confrontation between Federal Reserve independence and political intervention. $BTC $GT $ETH #WCTC交易王PK #比特币突破7.9万美元
