صادق مجلس الشيوخ الأمريكي يوم الأربعاء على تعيين كيفن وورش رئيساً لمجلس الاحتياطي الفيدرالي خلفاً لجيروم باول. وجاء التصويت في أعقاب عملية مصادقة منفصلة يوم الثلاثاء على تعيينه عضواً في مجلس محافظي الاحتياطي الفيدرالي.
وافق المشرعون على تولي وورش رئاسة المجلس لفترة مدتها أربع سنوات، بالإضافة إلى عضويته في مجلس المحافظين لمدة 14 عاماً. وقد جاءت عمليات المصادقة إلى حد كبير وفقاً للخطوط الحزبية. وكان وورش هو خيار الرئيس دونالد ترامب لهذا المنصب.

The move, announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Friday, shifts scrutiny to the Fed's inspector general and clears a path for Senate confirmation of President Trump's nominee Kevin Warsh. The probe had been criticized as an effort to pressure Powell amid disputes over interest rates.
President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair has led to a dip in bitcoin's price, as markets view him as potentially hawkish on monetary policy.
