President Donald Trump has completed interviewing candidates for the position of Federal Reserve chair and has a specific person in mind for the role. However, he did not disclose the identity of the individual he has chosen. The current Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, was appointed by Trump in 2017. The decision to appoint a new Fed chair comes at a critical time as the central bank navigates the economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The selection of the next Federal Reserve chair will have significant implications for the direction of monetary policy in the United States.
