Trump Allies Target Fed's Independence: WSJ

Some members of Trump's team are devising plans to restructure the Federal Reserve, which could grant the president direct influence over interest rate decisions and potentially remove the current Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, from office before his term ends in 2026.
This move is part of a broader strategy by Trump's allies to diminish the Federal Reserve's independence if he secures a second term, amidst internal disagreements among his advisers on how forcefully to challenge the central bank's authority.
