White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow walks to an Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on March 25. He noted that many workers and tourists cross the border every day, and the impact could be quickly felt. Separately, Kudlow said Trump remains fully committed to nominating conservative economist Stephen Moore to the board of the Federal Reserve. But Kudlow said he discussed Moore’s candidacy with Trump on Tuesday, and the president was unwavering. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that Trump and Powell recently spoke on the telephone — a rare occurrence — and that Trump acknowledged to Powell that he was “stuck” with him at the central bank.
