In a rare and awkward public encounter, President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell showcased their strained relationship during a visit to the Fed's headquarters.

President Donald Trump, after a tour of the Fed’s $2.5 billion renovation, said he didn’t want to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell because of the plan’s cost overruns.

Donald Trump has been bullying Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—calling him “too late,” insulting his intelligence, and trying to gin up a case that Powell spent too much on renovations of the agency’s headquarters as a pretext for firing him.
