Trump issues dismissal warning, Fed official says he will not resign due to threat.

On August 22 local time, CCTV reporters learned that US President Trump stated during a visit to a White House-themed museum in Washington that if Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook does not resign voluntarily, he will dismiss her. "If she doesn't resign, I'll fire her." Cook emphasized in response that she "has no intention to resign due to threats" and will not succumb to external pressure.
