Trump nominates CEA chair Stephen Miran to Federal Reserve Board
President Trump said Thursday that he would nominate Stephen Miran, current chair of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Miran will replace outgoing governor Adriana Kugler, who is set to step down on Friday. Miran's term will run until Jan. 31, 2026. "It is my Great Honor to announce that I have chosen Dr. Stephen Miran, current Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, to serve in the just vacated seat on the Federal Reserve Board until January 31, 2026," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "In the meantime, we will continue to search for a permanent replacement," Trump continued. "Stephen has a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University, and served with distinction in my First Administration. He has been with me from the beginning of my Second Term, and his expertise in the World of Economics is unparalleled — He will do an outstanding job. Congratulations Stephen!" Miran served as an adviser of economic policy for the Treasury Department during Steven Mnuchin's tenure as Treasury Secretary during Trump's first administration. He was also a senior strategist at Hudson Bay Capital Management. Miran is credited as being one of the authors of Trump's tariff policy and a key architect of his economic agenda. He has also been linked with the push for a so-called Mar-a-Lago currency accord, based on a paper he wrote laying out various strategies for rebalancing US trade while working in the private sector. Kugler unexpectedly announced last week that she would step down from the Fed's Board of Governors, just under six months before her term was set to expire on Jan. 31, 2026. Kugler, who has served as a Fed governor since Sept. 13, 2023, will return to Georgetown University as a professor this fall. Miran's appointment will add not only a Trump administration official onto the Fed board, but also likely another member who is in favor of the central bank cutting interest rates as soon as its September policy meeting. Last week, Fed governors Chris Waller and Michelle Bowman both voted against the Fed's decision to keep interest rates unchanged in a range of 4.25%-4.50%. Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist for Capital Economics, said the president's decision to nominate Miran is a "welcome surprise," noting that while he doesn't always agree with Miran he is a "good pick" who should easily be confirmed by the Senate. Miran's confirmation is pending Senate approval, but with lawmakers currently on August recess, it's unclear how long that could take. The nomination hearing will be a priority for the Senate Banking Committee, but lawmakers aren't due back in session until September 9, which is just one week before the Fed's policy meeting on September 16 and 17. The tight timeline makes it unlikely Miran could be confirmed and sworn in by the meeting. Senator Tim Scott, chair of the Senate Banking Committee, called Miran "an accomplished economist" and said that he "looks forward to quickly considering his nomination in the Senate Banking Committee." While Miran is set to be on the Fed's board for only a few months, investors will be looking for any clues about what his nomination means for the president's eventual nomination for the next Fed Chair and his intentions for influencing monetary policy. President Trump will need to nominate someone to the Fed Board of Governors for a full 14-year term once the short-term Fed Governor position's term is up on January 31 next year. If Miran performs to Trump's liking it's possible he could be re-nominated to a full 14-year term. The president said he's narrowed down his choice for the next Fed Chair to three individuals. Bloomberg reported earlier on Thursday that Waller is emerging as the favorite to replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair among Trump's advisers. The president said he also favors former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh and current Director of the president's National Economic Council Kevin Hassett. Warsh has experience navigating the central bank as he served as a Fed governor from 2006 until 2011 and acted as former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke's liaison to Wall Street during the chaos of the 2008 financial crisis. Warsh is also a known figure to Trump, who interviewed him for the Fed chair post eight years ago before deciding to nominate Powell. Warsh has been critical of the Fed of late, saying that the central bank needs a regime change and that it's not just about the chairman, but a range of people. He's argued on Fox Business last month that the costs involved in renovating the Fed's headquarters represent one of several examples of how the Fed "has lost its way" and that the American people "need a reformer to fix" the institution and rebuild its credibility. When it comes to policy, Warsh has suggested that the Fed could look past inflation related to tariffs because they'd be a one-time increase. Hassett, meanwhile, already has a close relationship with Trump, given that he advises the president on economic policy and served in the first Trump administration. Hassett has said there's no reason why the Fed shouldn't cut rates now, something the president has repeatedly hammered the central bank to do. He has indicated he would accept the job of Fed Chair if Trump chooses him. This week he accused the central bank of injecting politics into its decision making during an appearance on Fox Business. Similar to Warsh, Hassett suggested Fed leadership has lost its way, noting that 'the job of the leadership is to drive a nonpartisan consensus of the board, and that's not what we're seeing right now.' He said the Fed board 'is going to have to change,' and that he favors going back to the era of Alan Greenspan— where the Fed chair had a large influence over policy decisions. 'The board is going to have to go back to the kind of … Alan Greenspan approach of driving consensus, having healthy debate,' said Hassett. The White House also hopes that Powell will decide to leave the Fed Board of Governors when his chairmanship is up next year in May 2026. That would open up a second seat that Trump can fill. Powell has not yet said whether he intends to do that; his term as a Fed governor is not up until 2028. If Powell does not vacate his seat, the open governor's seat could be the only opportunity the president has to put his stamp on a fresh face for Fed Chair.

Trump Demanded Intel's CEO Resign. He Isn't the First President to Try Pushing a CEO Out
Key Takeaways President Trump demanded that Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan "resign immediately" in a post on Truth Social. This marks the first time since the 2008 financial crisis that a U.S. president has publicly called for a CEO to step down. Back then, the heads of General Motors and AIG were pushed out. Intel's chipmaking business has struggled, but Trump didn't mention those concerns in his demand. Trump's post came shortly after Sen. Tom Cotton claimed in a letter to Intel's chairman that Tan "controls dozens of Chinese companies."President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded the resignation of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan. It's exceedingly rare for a U.S. president to call for the resignation of a private company's leader—but it has happened before. The last time was during the Great Recession in 2009, when a newly elected Barack Obama urged General Motors (GM) CEO Rick Wagoner to step down amid auto industry bailout negotiations. GM and Chrysler were asking for billions of dollars in government loans, and a White House task force pressed Wagoner to step aside as a condition of GM receiving additional relief. George W. Bush faced similar circumstances in the waning months of his presidency, after the federal government bought a nearly 80% stake in AIG as part of an $85 billion bailout of the financial services giant. Henry Paulson, Bush's treasury secretary, reportedly insisted that CEO Robert Willumstad be removed. What Makes Trump Different? While Intel's chipmaking business has faced well-documented struggles, Trump's criticism isn't tied to financial performance. Instead, in a post on Truth Social, his social media platform, Trump accused Tan of having a conflict of interest. "The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately," Trump wrote on his Truth Social network. "There is no other solution to this problem." The post likely references a letter sent by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) to Intel Chairman Frank Yeary this week, in which Cotton wrote, "Mr. Tan reportedly controls dozens of Chinese companies and has a stake in hundreds of Chinese advanced-manufacturing and chip firms. At least eight of these companies reportedly have ties to the Chinese People's Liberation Army." Tan is the former CEO of Cadence Design Systems (CDNS), which settled legal proceedings with the U.S. government last month relating to "operations and business dealings in China" during his time at the helm.
