About this episode
President Trump dials into Squawk Box for an extended conversation spanning the looming Fed Chair nominations, tariffs, and the U.S. economy. He confirms that Kevin Warsh, Kevin Hassett, and two others are in the running to lead the central bank after Jerome Powell’s departure, but Treasury Scott Bessent will stay in his current role. While many trade negotiations are still in progress, President Trump shares details on his talks with India, China, and Switzerland, and warns that pharmaceutical tariffs will take effect soon. Plus, the Wall Street Journal reported that the White House is preparing an executive order that could fine banks for dropping customers for “political reasons.” President Trump weighs in with complaints of his own, including at Bank of America.
