Host Stephanie Flanders, Bloomberg’s head of government and economics, is joined by Anna Wong, chief US economist for Bloomberg Economics, and Bloomberg News senior Washington correspondent Saleha Mohsin to unpack the political backlash sparked by the Trump administration's criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, including rare pushback from a few Republican lawmakers and Donald Trump’s own Treasury secretary. The discussion explores how the move, which Powell says is over monetary policy rather than building renovations, could backfire by hardening his resolve, complicating Trump’s plans to install a new Fed chair and his attempts to force interest rate cuts.

This week, Stephanie Flanders examines the economic fallout of the US attack on Venezuela and Washington asserting effective control over the South American country. The discussion focuses on what this means for global oil markets, US economic power and the rules-based international order. Javier Blas, a columnist for Bloomberg Opinion and energy expert, and Bloomberg Economics analyst Chris Kennedy, who served as a member of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s policy planning staff, explain how access to Venezuela’s vast oil reserves could give the US unprecedented leverage over energy prices and foreign policy. They also analyze how it increases geopolitical instability and may help, or hinder, Trump's domestic political goals.
