Trump's Fed pick Stephen Miran vows to resign from CEA if confirmed for Fed seat

update 2025.09.05 00:24

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.

Key highlights

Fed independence is of paramount importance for the economy.
The President nominated me for the Fed board because he likes my policy views.

Miran declines to say he'd advise Trump not to fire Fed members.
The Fed doesn't control the long end of the yield curve.
I don't know what will happen if I go to the Fed.
If nominated for a longer Fed term, I would resign from the CEA.
Nobody asked me to pledge to vote for rate cuts.
On the concept of replacing all Fed governors: My idea was part of a broader checks-and-balances plan.
Trump's variety of policies is quite disinflationary.
Border policy can relieve pressure on rents.
