EXCLUSIVE — President Donald Trump expressed confidence in incoming Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh and said he would leave the interest rate decisions to him.

The Washington Examiner spoke to Trump during a Tuesday morning phone call and pointed out that investors are now pegging a higher chance of an interest rate hike rather than a cut by the end of the year, and asked him whether he thinks Warsh will deliver a cut.
