Is the Fed’s Independence at Risk?

On this episode of America’s Gold Authority® Podcast, host Mike Barnes is joined by Philip N. Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve and former Director of the U.S. Mint, along with Brad Chastain, U.S. Money Reserve’s Director of Education. The discussion focuses on rising political influence over the Federal Reserve, including President Trump’s public pressure on Fed Chairman Powell.

Our experts break down why Fed independence matters for economic confidence and how tariffs and the refinancing of short-term debt tie into inflation. They also explore historical examples of political pressures on U.S. monetary policy, and what shifting dynamics in Washington could signal for America’s economic future.
