El presidente Donald Trump dijo no tener intención de despedir al presidente de la Reserva Federal, Jerome Powell, a pesar de la frustración que le genera que el banco central no actúe más rápidamente para recortar las tasas de interés.

United States President Donald Trump has backed off his threat to fire the head of the US Federal Reserve, after his broadsides against the central bank boss prompted a plunge in the stock market and the dollar.

On Thursday, Trump said Powell’s “termination cannot come fast enough,” blasting him for being “too late and wrong” on inflation. Markets tumbled that day in response, unsettling investors who relied on the cool-headed Powell to steer the economy independently from politics.
