US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he plans to name a candidate to fill an open position at the Federal Reserve within the next couple of days. This vacancy arose after Fed Governor Adriana Kugler announced her early resignation last Friday, leaving a key role open at the central bank. Trump has been a vocal critic of the Fed’s leadership in recent years.
In addition, Trump said he will also announce a new head for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) within three or four days. This comes after he fired BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, accusing her of falsifying job numbers—claims for which he has not provided evidence.
This is a developing story.
