Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh declined to say whether he has communicated with President Trump since formally taking office last month, but confirmed meetings with Treasury Secretary Bessent. Warsh said Bessent posted a social-media photo of their breakfast and noted the long-standing practice of weekly meetings between the Fed chair and the treasury secretary; they have met three times so far. He added Bessent is overseas this week, so a meeting this week would be an exception.
