Ivanka Met With Fed Chair Janet Yellen in July



Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen met with Ivanka Trump in July, roughly a week before President Donald Trump said he was considering nominating the central bank chief to a second term, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Yellen met Ivanka for a one-hour breakfast July 17 in a room at the central bank, according to the latest release of the Fed leader’s monthly calendar.

A week later, Trump said of Yellen. “I like her; I like her demeanor. I think she’s done a good job. I’d like to see rates stay low. She’s historically been a low-interest-rate person.”

Trump and Yellen have met just once, for about 15 minutes, in the Oval Office in February.
