U.S. Treasury Secretary Basant:

I will not overemphasize any single inflation data point. It is important to focus on the trend; inflation is not accelerating. I have not yet seen today's CPI data. Trump has repeatedly stated that he will not fire Powell. The Federal Reserve has made significant forecasting errors (misjudging inflation severity in 2022), and it may be making another one now. An independent central bank is very important for policy.

The formal process for Powell's successor has already begun. There are many excellent candidates both inside and outside the Federal Reserve. The selection of a successor will proceed at Trump's pace. I am involved in the decision-making process for the Federal Reserve Chair.

The NVIDIA chip decision is part of the "puzzle" in negotiations with China. We are currently in a good position regarding China issues. I expect to meet with my Chinese counterparts in the coming weeks. I have told market participants not to worry about August 12. I will not rush to reach an agreement because of certain market deadlines.

I will be going to Japan to attend the World Expo, and the purpose is not just trade negotiations.
