7. On Monday, President Trump met with Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell for the first time since calling Powell and his colleagues "boneheads" in September. The meeting, which Trump tweeted was "very good & cordial," covered interest rates, dollar strength, and inflation, among other topics, according to the president. In a statement released after the meeting, the Fed stressed its independence from the political process, noting "the path of policy will depend entirely on incoming information that bears on the outlook for the economy." -- USA TODAY
