US President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit the Federal Reserve on Thursday, according to the latest statement from the White House. It is a move seen as his pressure campaign against Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.
The visit is the first by a US President in nearly two decades.
Traditionally, the US President has always respected the Federal Reserve's independence in determining monetary policies from political interference.
The 'visit' action is seen as a symbolic gesture that shows his open pressure on Jerome Powell following his desire to lower interest rates.
Trump has previously criticized Chairman Jerome Powell several times and expressed suggestions to fire him despite legal questions about the president's authority to do so.
In his statement, Trump considered Powell to be doing a bad job and that he would soon leave his post.
Last week, the US President asked Republican politicians for their views on Powell's dismissal.
However, Powell insisted that his dismissal was not allowed under the law.
