Washington | Federal Reserve governor Chris Waller, an advocate for an immediate interest rate cut, said on Friday (Saturday AEST) he would accept the job as head of the US central bank if asked by President Donald Trump, but so far Trump has not contacted him.
“In 2019 the president contacted me and said, ‘Would you serve?’ And I said yes,” Waller told Bloomberg Television, referring to Trump’s appointment of him to the Fed’s Board of Governors. “If the president contacted me and said, ‘I want you to serve,’ I would do it. But he has not contacted me.”
