President Trump expressed confidence in his Federal Reserve chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, suggesting he could drive U.S. economic growth beyond 15%. Trump acknowledged his past mistake in not selecting Warsh in 2017. However, Warsh's Senate confirmation may face delays due to Republican Senator Thom Tillis's opposition. The nomination has sparked mixed reactions, with some praising it while others, like Senator Elizabeth Warren, express concerns about the Fed's independence. Economic forecasts remain optimistic, with predictions of significant GDP growth driven by Trump's policies and the AI boom.
