U.S. President Donald Trump and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell exchanged frost words while publicly visiting the Fed’s $2.5 billion renovation project. The two disagree with the project’s schedule and cost in front of the camera.

This is their first public meeting since Trump began to reject Powell and the Fed’s refusal to lower interest rates.

Trump’s visit marks the first visit to the Fed since former President George W Bush attended Ben Bernanke’s sworn in 2006.
