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. Warsh, reportedly a finalist to replace Chair Jerome Powell, told CNBC’s Squawk Box: “We need a new Treasury-Fed accord,” referencing the post-WWII coordination of debt management.
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.”
