杰夫·梅森报道，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，前美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔应因该央行总部的翻修工程辞去理事会职务。此前的一份报告发现，一系列失误导致成本飙升。
By Jeff Mason President Donald Trump said former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell should resign from the central bank’s board over the renovation of its headquarters, after a report that found a series of missteps that led to surging costs.
“这栋楼预算超支，而且正以创纪录的速度超支；至少已经‘太迟了’，鲍威尔应被迫辞去理事职务。”特朗普周三在社交媒体上写道，并使用了长期以来对鲍威尔带有贬义的昵称。
“The Building is over budget, at a Record Setting rate and, at a minimum, ‘Too Late’ Powell should be forced to resign from the Board,” the president posted Wednesday on social media, using a derisive nickname he’s long used for Powell.
特朗普还指示司法部长托德·布兰奇研究监察长的报告，“并决定对此采取何种措施”。这份于周三早些时候发布的报告称，翻修项目没有发现刑事违法证据。
The president also directed Attorney General Todd Blanche to study the inspector general’s report “and make a determination as to what to do.”The report released earlier Wednesday found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the renovation project.
早前：美联储监察机构未发现翻修工程存在刑事违法行为。特朗普的要求可能给现任美联储主席凯文·沃什施压，促使其对鲍威尔采取行动。在鲍威尔领导该央行期间，特朗普多次就货币政策批评他，并利用美联储总部翻修工程作为攻击他的筹码。鲍威尔抵制了特朗普逼他下台的努力，包括解雇威胁；直到参议院于5月确认沃什的任命，他才卸任。

During Powell’s tenure leading the central bank, the president repeatedly criticized him over monetary policy and used the Fed’s headquarters renovation as a cudgel against him. Powell resisted Trump’s efforts to push him out of office, including threats to fire him, and he remained in his position until Warsh was confirmed by the Senate in May.
不过，鲍威尔仍留在美联储理事会，他的任期将于2028年到期。
Powell, however, has remained on the Fed’s board and his term expires in 2028.
“这是杰罗姆·鲍威尔的错，他应该立刻辞职！如果他不辞职，美国政府就应就腐败或无能在最高层级起诉他，而这两者都是完全不可接受的，”特朗普写道。
“This is Jerome Powell’s fault, and he should be forced to resign, IMMEDIATELY! If he doesn’t resign, he should be sued, at the highest level, by the United States Government, for either corruption or incompetence, both of which are completely unacceptable,” Trump posted.
