President Trump recently displayed a draft letter intending to dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell during a meeting with House Republicans.
He informally polled the Republican lawmakers present, seeking their opinions on whether he should proceed with the dismissal of Powell.
While Trump initially seemed inclined to fire Powell, his subsequent comments suggested a more cautious approach despite considerable pressure.
The unexpected Oval Office discussion, unrelated to initial meeting topics, highlighted Trump's ongoing discontent with Powell's leadership.
