Federal Reserve governor Adriana Kugler is stepping down from her position early, creating an unexpected opening for President Donald Trump to shape the central bank.

The action came after former Russian president Dmitri Medvedev referenced the Soviet Union’s emergency nuclear strike capabilities in a post criticizing Trump.
