US President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell if he does not leave when his term expires on May 15. "Well then, I'll have to fire him," Trump said in an interview on Fox Business. "I've held back firing him. I've wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial. I want to be uncontroversial, but he will be fired."
