Former US President Trump gave a 90-minute interview to Business Week, covering a wide range of topics including the US economy and his second presidential agenda if re-elected. Trump said that (if re-elected) he would allow Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, to complete his term, including his term as a governor (expiring in 2028), especially if he thought the latter was doing the right thing.
On policy rates, he warned that the Fed should avoid cutting rates before the November election to prevent giving Biden a boost. On tax cuts, Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate from the current 21% to as low as 15%. However, if that proves too difficult to achieve, he would be content with a reduction to 20%.
In addition, Trump also mentioned the issue of potential candidates for Treasury Secretary, saying that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who is said to be considering a political career, "is a candidate he would consider for Treasury Secretary." As for the issue of presidential pardons, Trump insisted that he would not pardon himself if he was found guilty of a federal crime in the pending case against him.
