Ex-Fed governor calls for a new Treasury-Fed accord

🏦 Former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh called for a “regime change” at the Federal Reserve and a new policy alliance with the Treasury, citing the Fed’s reluctance to cut rates as a major failure.

His stance aligns with Trump’s call for lower rates to ease the burden of the $36 trillion U.S. debt. Asked if Powell should be fired, Warsh responded, “Regime change will happen in due course.”
