President Trump kan Fed-bestuurder Lisa Cook niet zomaar ontslaan, oordeelt het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof. De zaak moet nader bekeken worden door lagere rechters.

Trump first tried to fire Cook last year, alleging issues with her personal mortgage, which she denies.

The Supreme Court says Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook can remain in her job for now, a rebuke to President Donald Trump’s bid to wrest control of the nation’s central bank.
