US President Donald Trump insisted Thursday that he could force out the independent head of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, once again attacking the central bank chief for his policy on interest rates.

“He’ll leave if I ask him to, he’ll be out of there,” Trump told reporters. “I’m not happy with him. I let him know it and if I want him out, he’ll be out of there real fast, believe me.”
