Kamala Harris could not « disagree more » with Donald Trump’s belief that the president deserves a say in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decisions.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday fiercely disagreed with former President Donald Trump’s suggestion this week that U.S. presidents should have a say in the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions.
« I couldn’t . disagree more strongly », Harris told reporters in Arizona, referring to the Republican presidential nominee’s comments. « The Fed is an independent entity, and as president, I would never interfere in the decisions that the Fed makes. »
With just 87 days until the election, the vice president also told reporters that she is preparing to unveil an official economic policy platform in the coming days.
« It’ll be focused on the economy and what we need to do to bring down costs and also strengthen the economy », said Harris.
Harris’ comments drew a stark contrast between her and Trump, who said this week that the president should « have at least [a] say » in Fed policy.
