Trump says he won't appoint anyone to Fed who doesn't back rate cuts
By Trevor Hunnicutt and Kanishka Singh WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he would not appoint anyone to head the Federal Reserve who would not lower interest rates from where they are, setting perhaps the most explicit litmus test yet for candidates to be the next central bank chief to align with his demands for steep rate cuts in order to get the job. "If I think somebody's going to keep the rates where they are or whatever, I'm not going to put them in," Trump said. "I'm going to put somebody that wants to cut rates. There are a lot of them out there." Presidents in the past have complained about the Fed setting interest rates too high for their liking, but Trump has taken it further than any recent U.S. leader in setting a clear expectation for whomever he nominates to be in line with his wishes. Trump, who said rates should be cut to 1% from the current Fed benchmark rate of 4.25% to 4.50%, has repeatedly railed against Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not lowering borrowing costs since Trump returned to the White House in January, and he did so again on Friday. "I'd love him to resign if he wanted to, he's done a lousy job," Trump, speaking at the White House, said, while also labeling the Fed chair as "stupid." After raising rates aggressively coming out of the pandemic to combat the largest inflation outbreak since the 1970s and 1980s, the Fed lowered them a bit in the second half of last year but has not cut them since Trump returned to office. That is largely because Powell and the large majority of policymakers are concerned Trump's tariff policies in particular may rekindle inflation, and they prefer to wait longer to see if that develops before lowering rates again. Fed officials themselves have penciled in half a percentage point of cuts later this year, although that is a fraction of the reduction Trump is demanding. Trump's latest rant against Powell comes as he has largely backed away from threats to try to fire the Fed leader after a recent Supreme Court opinion appeared to align with long-standing views that presidents cannot dismiss top Fed officials over policy disagreements. The protection is seen as central to the Fed's independence from political interference in policymaking, which is seen as a critical pillar of its credibility as the world's most influential central bank. Trump has since turned his focus more to a successor for Powell, whose term as chair expires in May 2026. He has in recent weeks said he has three or four potential candidates in mind and he would make a decision soon. Most past Fed chair appointments have typically been made roughly three or four months before the vacancy was scheduled. There are about 10 months remaining in Powell's tenure as chair, and an early nomination by Trump is seen as an effort to undermine Powell's authority by giving voice to a "shadow chair" who would advocate for a different policy trajectory. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, seen as one of the potential candidates to replace Powell, downplayed the "shadow chair" idea, however. "I don't think anyone's necessarily talking about that," he told CNBC. Bessent noted that just one seat on the Fed Board of Governors is scheduled to open up within the year when Governor Adriana Kugler's term expires in early 2026. While Powell's term as chair expires next May, he is not required to leave the Fed altogether until his board seat expires in 2028. That leaves Kugler's expected departure as the first opportunity for a Trump appointment. "So there is a chance that the person who is going to become the chair could be appointed in January, which would probably mean an October, November nomination," Bessent said. Asked about reports that he is among the pool of candidates, Bessent said: "I'll do what the president wants, but I think I have the best job in Washington." Others seen as possible nominees for the job are White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett, former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, and current Governor Christopher Waller. Waller, appointed by Trump during the Republican's first term in office, in the past week has said he is open to cutting interest rates as soon as the Fed's next meeting at the end of July.

Traveler nabbed by CBP beagle at airport for carrying illicit food deported after kicking dog 'off the ground'
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection beagle is recovering after being kicked with such force he was lifted off the ground during a baggage inspection at Washington Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. The working dog, Freddy, suffered bruising but is expected to make a full recovery. "Thanks to everyone for their concern about Freddy who was injured while performing his duties at Dulles airport," CBP said in a statement posted on X Friday. "He was treated by his veterinarian, and is expected to make a full recovery. Here he is enjoying his favorite comfort treat – a Pup Cup!" The man accused of kicking Freddy, 70-year-old Egyptian national Hamed Ramadan Bayoumy Aly Marie, pleaded guilty this week in federal court to harming a law enforcement animal. He was ordered removed from the U.S. and departed Thursday afternoon on a flight to Egypt, according to CBP. "Kick around and find out," CBP wrote in a repost of Fox News' Bill Melugin's post about the incident. The incident occurred Tuesday after Marie arrived at Dulles from Cairo. Freddy, a 5-year-old beagle assigned to CBP's agriculture detection team, alerted officers to one of Marie's suitcases. As a CBP officer began questioning him, Marie "violently kicked Freddie with sufficient force to lift the 25-pound beagle off the ground," the agency said. Officers immediately restrained Marie and turned him over to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents. A veterinarian later determined Freddie sustained contusions to his right rib area. Marie pleaded guilty Wednesday during an appearance in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to violating a law that prohibits harming animals used in law enforcement. He was credited with time served, ordered to pay the veterinary bill and directed to report to CBP for removal. CBP officials said the dog was simply doing his job. "Being caught deliberately smuggling well over one hundred pounds of undeclared and prohibited agriculture products does not give one permission to violently assault a defenseless Customs and Border Protection beagle," said Christine Waugh, CBP's area port director for the Area Port of Washington, D.C. A search of Marie's luggage revealed 55 pounds of beef; 44 pounds of rice; 15 pounds of vegetables, including eggplant, cucumbers and bell peppers; two pounds of corn seeds; and a pound of herbs. All were seized as prohibited agricultural imports. CBP agriculture specialists and detection canines play a key role in protecting U.S. agriculture from pests, diseases and contaminants. On a typical day last year, CBP said its teams intercepted more than 3,500 prohibited plant and animal products at U.S. ports of entry. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia prosecuted the case. CBP did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for further comment.

Mass. AG Campbell vows to fight on after Supreme Court hands Trump birthright citizenship win
While expressing disappointment with Friday's U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the birthright citizenship case, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea J. Campbell is confident states will 'absolutely be successful' in defeating President Donald Trump's executive order in court. In a 6-3 decision Friday, the Supreme Court handed a win to the Trump administration in the much-anticipated birthright citizenship case, while simultaneously not ruling on the birthright issue directly. The court ruled that individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions, which have effectively blocked many of Trump's policies since he took office in January. The ruling means injunctions would only apply to plaintiffs in the specific lawsuits at hand. The decision left unclear the fate of Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship. Read more: Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions, but fate of Trump birthright citizenship order unclear The court's conservative majority left open the possibility that Trump's changes — an executive order signed on his first day in office that would deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of people who are in the country illegally — could remain blocked nationwide. Speaking alongside fellow Democratic attorneys general from Connecticut, New Jersey, California and Washington, Campbell on Friday said Trump cannot change the U.S. Constitution, in this case the 14th Amendment, with the 'simple strike of a pen.' 'Millions of Americans can trace their citizenship back to immigrant ancestors who helped build this country (and) fuel our economy under the protections of the 14th Amendment,' she said. 'Deeply disappointed' that the Supreme Court did not decide that a nationwide injunction is warranted in the case, Campbell said she and other attorneys general who have sued will press on for the more than 150,000 babies born in the U.S. every year into birthright citizenship. Campbell also addressed the state-by-state patchwork legal issues potentially created by Friday's ruling. 'Citizenship does not depend on whether a baby is born in New Hampshire or Massachusetts,' she said. 'People move, they live along state borders, they're born in hospitals outside the state they live in. A baby's citizenship should not, cannot and must not be determined by the borders of the state they find themselves in at the time of birth. And that's why the district court initially granted nationwide relief because they understood that to be true.' Immigrant rights groups and 22 states had sued over Trump's order, and four federal judges, including one in Boston, subsequently blocked it from going into effect. On Truth Social, Trump hailed Friday's ruling as a 'GIANT WIN.' Material from the Associated Press was used in this story. Chicopee's next budget is 6% hike from this year.
