Kevin Warsh was sworn in Friday as the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, taking over leadership of the world’s most powerful central bank at a moment of rising inflation fears, market jitters and ongoing concerns about the entity’s independence.
President Donald Trump said at a White House ceremony Warsh would be “totally independent”
“I want Kevin to be totally independent,” he said. “Don’t look at me, don’t look at anybody.”
