Trump clearly stated for the first time that he will not fire Powell: we can wait, it won't be long before we can change people.
Trump denied firing Powell before 2026 and stated that he could wait to replace him. He downplayed the possibility of an economic recession and emphasized that the U.S. is in a transitional period. Trump stated that he would ultimately be responsible for everything, including the impact of his tariff policies on the economy. (Source: BlockBeats)
