# Trump Maintains Frequent Contact With Fed Chair Kevin Warsh 2026-08-06T15:40:54+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet US President Donald Trump has spoken repeatedly with Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh since Warsh took office less than three months ago, people familiar with the conversations told Hindustan Times. Trump has sought his views on the economic effects of the war in Iran and the rapid growth of artificial intelligence. It was unclear whether they discussed interest rates. One person said Trump had not raised monetary policy since Warsh’s Senate confirmation. The contact is more frequent and informal than the arrangements followed by several recent presidents, renewing concerns about the Fed’s independence. Trump previously criticised former chair Jerome Powell for not cutting rates enough, but has praised Warsh and said he wants him to act independently. NDTV Profit reports that Warsh has not delivered the rate cuts Trump once demanded. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - ndtvprofit.com Tags: Donald Trump, Federal Reserve, interest rates, Kevin Warsh, US economy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/trump-repeatedly-calls-fed-chair-warsh-on-economy-and-iran-war/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
