After Walsh was Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Trump spoke to him several times

On 6 August, informed sources revealed that, since Kevin Walsh had assumed the presidency of the Fed, United States President Trump had spoken to him on several occasions and that maintaining such a channel of communication between the President and the head of the central bank was contrary to recent practice. According to the source, Trump called Walsh intermittently: several calls over several consecutive days, followed by a prolonged period of silence. According to some sources, Trump consulted Walsh on a range of matters, including the Iranian war and the economic impact of the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Walsh has been on duty for less than three months. It is not clear whether Trump and Walsh have discussed monetary policy. One person who was aware of the content of the conversation maintained that the President had never referred to the issue of interest rates since his appointment to the Senate。
