沃什9月日程无与特朗普通话记录:特朗普曾称两人谈过利率投票

华盛顿 — 《华盛顿邮报》11月9日报道,美联储主席 Kevin Warsh 最新公开的日程(上周五公布)中,没有他与总统特朗普通话的记录,尽管特朗普曾表示,他在9月议息会议前与沃什谈过如何投票。
据《华盛顿邮报》报道,这已是沃什今年5月就任美联储主席以来第五份未列出与总统会面或通话的日程。今年夏天,多名参议院民主党人曾要求沃什把这类接触一并列入其公开日程。
特朗普9月16日在美联储议息后对记者表示,他曾与沃什通话,告诉对方不妨跟理事会投一样的票,因为那不会有什么差别,还说想怎么做就怎么做。美联储当天一致决定加息25个基点,把联邦基金利率目标区间上调至3.75%至4.00%,为三年多来首次加息。
沃什在9月的记者会上被问到与总统的沟通时拒绝展开,只强调美联储将履行其双重使命。此前,彭博社与《华尔街日报》8月曾报道特朗普多次致电沃什,特朗普当时称两人只简短谈过一次。美联储此前表示,主席日程只记录事先安排的通话与会面,8月日程中同样没有特朗普的名字。

Warsh's September Calendar Lists No Trump Calls, Though Trump Said They Discussed the Rate Vote
WASHINGTON — The Washington Post reported on November 9 that Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's most recently released calendar, published last Friday, shows no record of a conversation with President Donald Trump, even though Trump has said he spoke with Warsh about how to vote at the Federal Open Market Committee's September meeting.
According to the Post, it is the fifth calendar since Warsh took office in May to list no meeting or call with the president. Several Senate Democrats asked him this summer to add any such contacts to his publicly released calendars.
Speaking to reporters after the September 16 meeting, Trump said he had talked to Warsh and told him he might as well vote with the Board because it would not matter, adding that Warsh could do what he wanted. The Fed that day voted unanimously to raise its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 3.75% to 4.00%, its first increase in more than three years.
At his September press conference, Warsh declined to elaborate on his communications with the president and stressed that the Fed would carry out its dual mandate. Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal reported in August that Trump had called Warsh repeatedly; Trump said at the time that the two had spoken only once, briefly. The Fed has said the chair's calendar records only scheduled calls and meetings, and his August calendar likewise contained no entry for Trump.
