Trump will announce the new Federal Reserve board members and the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the next few days.

President Trump said he will announce new members of the Federal Reserve Board and the Labor Statistics Bureau in the next few days, and these appointments may affect his economic agenda. Trump made the comments to reporters on his way back to the White House on Sunday. The Federal Reserve announced on Friday that Adriana Kugler will resign from her position, giving Trump the opportunity to appoint a policymaker who supports his calls for interest rate cuts. On the same day, Trump fired the Labor Statistics Bureau director Erika McEntarfer, just hours before labor market data showed weak job growth, partly due to significant downward revisions in May and June employment figures.
