Previously, U.S. Treasury Secretary Benson stated that there may be one to two more interviews for the Federal Reserve Chairman position this week. Trump has been very straightforward on policy-related questions during interviews. Both Powell and Hasset are "extremely qualified." Benson also refuted the notion that Hasset is ineligible to serve at the Fed, while also dismissing the view that a new Chairman would result in the Fed losing its independence.
