Donald Trump named Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve, ending months of speculation over who’d take charge of US interest rates as the president pushes for big cuts. 

Trump elevated Warsh, who’s advised him on economic policy and previously served as a Fed governor, to succeed Jerome Powell when his term at the helm ends in May. It marks a comeback for Warsh, 55, who’s called for a major overhaul of the Fed but was passed over for the top job in 2017 when Trump opted for Powell.

If confirmed by the Senate, Warsh will take the reins at a time when many economists and investors see the Fed’s traditional insulation from elected officials as being under threat from the White House. Warsh aligned himself with Trump in 2025 by arguing publicly for lower rates, going against his longstanding reputation as an inflation hawk.

President Donald Trump and Senate Democrats are nearing a deal to avert a US government shutdown as the White House negotiates with Democrats to place new limits on immigration raids that have provoked a national outcry.

The talks between top Senate Democrats and the Trump administration aimed at averting a government shutdown have moved closer to Democrats’ demands, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

“I think we’re getting close,” Trump told reporters at a cabinet meeting Thursday morning. “We’ll work in a very bipartisan way, I believe, not to have a shutdown.”

Trump, Democrats Near Immigration Deal

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the two parties are in talks with the White House over US government funding as Democrats threaten to force a partial US government shutdown following a mounting public backlash over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.

The fatal shooting of Minnesota nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents on Saturday quickly led to a Senate Democratic revolt against funding the Department of Homeland Security without new safeguards. Funding for several other agencies, including Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Treasury and Education, could become a casualty of the dispute as a Jan. 30 funding deadline nears.

Senate Risks Partial Shutdown, DHS Funding Talks Stall

Donald Trump said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would remain in her post despite the president’s decision to reshuffle the leadership running his deportation effort in Minnesota following widespread outcry over the killing of two US citizens by federal agents.

“I think she’s doing a very good job,” Trump told reporters Tuesday as he departed the White House for a trip to Iowa. “The border is totally secure.”

The public vote of confidence came a day after the president ordered the shakeup in the aftermath of the Jan. 24 fatal shooting of 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent during an enforcement operation.

Trump Backs Noem, Shifts Minnesota Plan

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

President Donald Trump indicated he’ll make changes to his administration’s deportation crackdown in Minnesota after the killing of two US citizens during immigration raids sparked nationwide uproar.

The president said he was sending US border czar Tom Homan — who is seen as relatively measured compared to rivals, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — to Minneapolis in a bid to deescalate tensions. 

Trump also spoke with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, telling the Democrat who he has derided as “grossly incompetent” that he would consider independent investigations into the shootings and reducing the number of federal agents in his state.

Trump Signals Deportation Strategy Shift After Minnesota Outcry

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

Snow and dangerously bitter cold have begun to spread from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes as a massive storm pushes toward the US Northeast, disrupting travel and threatening power outages for much of the nation.

The storm is expected to span nearly 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers), bringing heavy snow, crippling ice and subzero wind chill to some of the biggest US cities. Natural gas prices surged on concern iced-over equipment will choke supplies. Airlines have already canceled more than 3,000 flights and Amtrak has pulled dozens of trips from its schedule. 

Chicago schools were closed Friday as the third-largest US district braced for wind chills of -30F (-34), while ski resorts in Michigan took the unusual step of shutting slopes because of the extreme cold.

US Braces for Massive Winter Storm

Oil fell as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy discussed plans for trilateral meetings with the US and Russia.

West Texas Intermediate traded below $60 a barrel on Thursday. Any breakthrough to end Moscow’s war in Ukraine could iron out supply disruptions and end sanctions on Russian crude in an already oversupplied global market, sapping a longstanding geopolitical risk premium.

Signs of ample supply were evident in a US government report that showed US crude stockpiles rose 3.6 million barrels last week, while fuel stocks rose across the board.

President Donald Trump said he was seeking immediate talks on the US acquiring Greenland while saying he did not plan to use force, during an address to the world’s business and political elite in Davos on Wednesday.

“I’m seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States, just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history,” Trump told attendees of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.

Trump Presses NATO on Greenland at Davos

Along the illustrious Davos Promenade, the US administration has taken over a 19th century church that’s been reconsecrated for the week as a shrine to business and politics. On the eve of President Donald Trump’s arrival, a banner hangs behind USA House spelling out, “House of God.” 

It’s as good a visual cue as any for the power plays ahead as Trump descends on the Swiss Alps for the first time since 2020 in the final year of what was, with the benefit of hindsight, a more restrained first term. That goes for European leaders as well as the gullible billionaires duped into buying fake tickets for access to Trump’s entourage.

Iran may have averted US strikes for now by pledging not to execute protesters after pressure from President Donald Trump.

Trump told reporters Wednesday he had been informed the “killing in Iran is stopping,” adding he would be “very upset” if the crackdown continued. That was a marked shift from earlier in the week, when he urged Iranians to keep demonstrating and vowed that “help is on the way.”
