President Donald Trump said on Friday he had a good meeting with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and got the impression that the head of the U.S. central bank might be ready to lower interest rates.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell intends to ignore Donald Trump’s constant calls for him to resign, believing that doing so would damage the independence of the U.S. central bank, according to a new report.

After months of criticizing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, President Donald Trump took the fight to the Fed’s front door on Thursday, publicly scorning the central bank chief over the ballooning costs of a long-planned building project.
