U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the Federal Reserve's independence, stating she would not interfere with its decisions if elected president. In contrast, Republican nominee Donald Trump argued that U.S. presidents should have more influence over the Fed. Harris, recently nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate, plans to unveil her economic policies soon. Responding to recent Fed actions, Harris expressed trust in its decision-making. Trump, however, criticized the Fed's independence, citing his financial success as evidence of better decision-making capabilities. This disagreement highlights their differing views on the role of the president in economic policy.
