Stephen Miran, Donald Trump's pick to fill a recently vacated seat on the Federal Reserve (Fed) Board of Governors, vowed that he would resign from the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) if confirmed by Congress to take a spot at the Fed. Miran was also selected by Trump to take a seat on the CEA.
Miran declared that he would help steer the Fed away from "straying from its mandates", though Miran was not immediately forthcoming on exactly how the Fed has strayed from its dual mandate of supporting employment and maintaining price stability.
Miran also stated that there has been no measurable impact on inflation from Trump's tariffs, and that Trump's tariffs were actually disinflationary, a bizarre economic policy stance that runs counter to all available data.
