美国民主党资深参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦4月17日在纽约证券交易所发表演讲时警告称，若特朗普总统动用权力解雇美联储主席鲍威尔，可能会引发美国股市崩盘。这番言论直指特朗普当日稍早通过社交媒体对鲍威尔的激烈抨击。
沃伦强调，尽管她与鲍威尔在监管及利率政策上存在分歧，但支撑美国股市乃至全球经济的关键在于“美联储独立于政治干预”的制度设计。她警告称，若将关键经济杠杆交予"“只想挥舞魔杖的总统"”，美国将与"“二流国家"”无异。
就在沃伦演讲前数小时，特朗普在其社交媒体平台发文称：“鲍威尔总是反应太慢、总是做错，昨天那份报告又是彻头彻尾的烂摊子！”他重申希望鲍威尔效仿欧洲央行大幅降息，并称解职越快越好。当日下午在白宫椭圆形办公室，特朗普更表示：“若我想解雇他，他马上就会走人。”
围绕总统能否解雇美联储主席的法律争议持续发酵。两人意见不合由来已久，可以追溯到特朗普的第一个任期。鲍威尔自2018年上任以来多次声明总统无权解除其职务，并称将诉诸法律手段维护职位。(国际财闻汇）
