Powell

Jonathan Powell, Downing Street chief of staff under Sir Tony, is now Sir Keir's national security adviser, and Liz Lloyd, a former deputy chief of staff, is now back as director of policy delivery.

Other targets of his ire included Jerome Powell, head of the US central bank, whom the president said was not doing a good job.

Trump trained his ire instead on Jerome H. Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, who by law is meant to operate independently until his term ends in the spring of next year.

The president’s comments about Fed Chair Jerome Powell — especially his threat to fire him — have put investors on alert, elevating concerns over the U.S. central bank’s independence.

But however uncomfortable Powell might have been then, his position has only gotten worse.
