Former Federal Reserve official Kevin Warsh has publicly challenged President Donald Trump’s repeated demands to cut interest rates, arguing that such a move could destabilize financial markets and undermine long-term economic stability. Warsh, a critic of aggressive monetary policy shifts, warned that lowering borrowing costs without clear economic justification risks fueling asset bubbles and inflationary pressures. His remarks come amid growing tensions between the White House and central bank leaders over monetary policy independence. The debate highlights broader concerns about the balance between political influence and economic expertise in shaping financial decisions.
