Harris knocks Trump's Fed comments: 'I would never interfere’ in central bank decisions

• Vice President Kamala Harris said she would not get involved in the Federal Reserve's decisions if she wins the presidency.
• Her comment comes as a sharp rebuke to Donald Trump's suggestion that the president should have input on monetary policy.
• Harris said she plans to roll out a more official economic policy platform next week.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday fiercely disagreed with former President Donald Trump's suggestion this week that U.S. presidents should have a say in the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions.

"I couldn't ... disagree more strongly," Harris told reporters in Arizona, referring to the Republican presidential nominee's comments. "The Fed is an independent entity, and as president, I would never interfere in the decisions that the Fed makes."

Harris' comments drew a stark contrast between her and Trump, who said this week that the president should "have at least [a] say" in Fed policy.

"I think that in my case, I made a lot of money, I was very successful, and I think I have a better instinct than, in many cases, people that would be on the Federal Reserve or the chairman," Trump said Thursday during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Harris also said Saturday that she is watching to see where the Fed moves next on interest rates.

"As we know we've there was some turbulence this week [in global markets], but it seems to have settled itself, and we'll see what [decisions] they make next," she told reporters. Harris added that she learns about Fed decisions "about the same time you do."

At his Florida press conference, Trump also reminisced about the very public disagreements he used to have with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, a fellow Republican, while he was president. Especially
