美联储发言人周二表示，央行将遵守美联储州长丽莎·库克(Lisa Cook)和唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统之间僵局的任何法院判决。
这位发言人说，国会指示州长担任固定任期，只有总统“有理由”才能将其免职。
这位发言人说:“州长的长期任期和免职保护是一个重要的保障，确保货币政策决定是基于数据、经济分析和美国人民的长期利益。”
“丽莎·库克已经通过她的私人律师表示，她将立即在法庭上对这一行动提出质疑，并寻求司法裁决，以确认她有能力继续履行她作为参议院确认的美联储系统理事会成员的职责。一如既往，美联储将遵守任何法院判决，”他们补充说。
目前还不清楚在特朗普周一晚上发布他将她从董事会除名的消息后，库克周二是否还在工作。特朗普引用未经证实的抵押贷款欺诈指控作为解雇她的原因。库克反驳说，特朗普没有权力解除她的职务，她也不会辞职。
周二被问及此事时，特朗普表示，他准备与库克进行法律斗争，并表示他也将“遵守法庭规定”。
Federal Reserve says it will 'abide by any court decision' in standoff between Trump and Cook
A Federal Reserve spokesperson on Tuesday said the central bank will abide by any court decision in the standoff between Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and President Donald Trump.
The spokesperson said Congress directs governors to serve fixed terms and may only be removed by the president "for cause."
"Long tenures and removal protections for governors serve as a vital safeguard, ensuring that monetary policy decisions are based on data, economic analysis, and the long-term interests of the American people," the spokesperson said.
"Lisa Cook has indicated through her personal attorney that she will promptly challenge this action in court and seek a judicial decision that would confirm her ability to continue to fulfill her responsibilities as a Senate-confirmed member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As always, the Federal Reserve will abide by any court decision," they added.
It's unclear if Cook was working Tuesday after Trump's Monday night post that he was removing her from the board. Trump cited unproven allegations of mortgage fraud as the reason for her firing. Cook pushed back that Trump didn't have the authority to remove her and that she was not resigning.
Asked about the matter on Tuesday, Trump said he was prepared for a legal fight with Cook and said he would also "abide by the court."
