that's bringing our white house correspondent kimberly hacket. kimberly. we recall that how was a trump appointee? right. so this really reflects how bipartisan all of this process has become and there's no question that this is something that was taken into consideration by the u. s. president. as he made the announcement that jerome powell would be his nomination for a 2nd term, his chair of the federal reserve. now the reason the u. s. president said that he made the selection is for a number of reasons. number one is because of the job that he's already done as you point out. he served under president trump and also the u. s. president bite and believe skilfully handled. some of the market challenges and economic challenges as a result of the coven pandemic. so the u. s president saying that he helped steer down through rather steer through one of the worst downturns. and so he's optimistic that he can also, when it comes to monetary policy address the challenges ahead. so the u. s. president also suggesting the 2nd reason that he wanted to see jerome

our white house correspondent can be hawk. it has more. what this president doesn't want is americans thinking about him and blaming him for the high gas prices when they fill up their fuel tanks. so this is in many cases political, but it also has to do with what we've been seeing the united states for recent weeks and months now. and that is overall rising prices. it's not just the price of gasoline, which out in california is about $5.00 a gallon here in d. c. it's about a hovering under $4.00 a gallon. so it really varies where you are in the country, but it's other things as well. the cost of food, the fact that there's been a supply chain crisis in the united states and globally, which means that many retailers can't keep the shelves stocked. so all of this is leading to a problem for the president politically, that is low approval ratings. the president doesn't want to see those fall any further, or have people gathered around the table, grumbling and calling out his name. so the timing is strategic on the part of the president. and

but 1st, let's paint to our white house correspondent, kimberly how good. kimberly powell, i recall, was a trump appointee. so this really reflects how bipartisan this process has become. that seems yeah, bear with me. there's a lot of noise happening behind me, but what we're doing is a line that's going on here and it's making an awful lot of racket, but with respect to the appointment that has been made by. * the u. s. president joe biden. what's important to know is, all of this is that this is the 2nd term. so what the u. s. president is saying is that i like the job that you did. i don't want you to do it again. so one of the reasons in the white house state that we should point out were waiting for you as president to the coming hours will be speaking about this, but already in the state. but he said that he'd like jerome powells handling one of the worst economic crises in recent history of the united states. that is the handling of the pandemic. the fact that the market not only contract is but there was issues. and so, given the fact that the unit

let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly hawk it in washington committee. so present biting, choosing continuity. ah, it appears that is exactly what joe biden is looking for for the chair of the federal reserve. and that's why he has nominated for a 2nd term, a 4 year term jerome powell, to lead the federal reserve. he says that in a statement released by the white house just a few moments ago, that the reason that he wanted to keep him in place was the fact that he helped to steer the american economy during the worst downturn in modern american history. and this will allow the united states to really be on a road to recovery. and so he was impressed not only with his experience, his resume, his credentials, but the fact that it was really able to demonstrate his agility in terms of monetary policy. with respect to the fact that the united states during the pandemic experience one of the worst contractions in its history. so the u. s. president not only impressed with the credentials but also the philosophy philosophy, given the fact that the u. s. prison

our white house correspondent, kimberly hall, could explains why this decision was made. no. the u. s. made this announcement on the heels of a meeting between a national security council representative for latin america as well as officials in columbia. and part of the reason that this designation his being lifted now is the fact that the united states continues to conduct work in this area and is having difficulty doing so, given the fact that the designation of terror against the, the park organization was still in place despite that 2016 peace accord being signed and the more than 10000 members laying down their arms and particularly in some of those areas where those members are still living, that has made us peace efforts and aid efforts difficult. so that is one of the reasons that the other rationale behind the, by the ministrations lifting of this designation is the fact that it really is not a unified organization anymore in the eyes of the bite and white house. and so they felt that it was no longer appropriate to leave it in place. telephone go volunteer to has more from
