The president has argued that cutting borrowing costs would boost economic growth, but the central bank has worried that slashing rates could make inflation worse.<strong> <\/strong>Powell has also cited the uncertainty of economic impacts of Mr. Trump&#8217;s tariffs as another factor.

The decision to raise or lower interest rates is not Powell&#8217;s alone. Eight times a year, the Federal Open Market Committee, which has 12 members, votes on monetary policy.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump nominated Powell as Fed chair during his first term, and then-President Joe Biden subsequently nominated him for a second four-year term that expires in May 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a rocky road for him between now and then,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;I do believe a lot of economists will say, when the economy is hot, when it&#8217;s running \u2014 and ours is, and we&#8217;re ramping up lots of great development \u2014 that that is not a time for you to reduce interest rates. But I think desperate times call for desperate measures.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Johnson said lowering interest rates would help solve the housing affordability crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you reduce the rates just a small percentage, you can solve that problem,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think that would be a big thing for the economy and I think he ought to duly consider that.
