Trump Aides Eye Major Banking Deregulation, Targeting FDIC
TL;DR
Advisers to President-elect Donald Trump are reportedly considering the dissolution of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) as part of a broader banking deregulation effort. This move, which would require Congressional approval, is part of discussions to consolidate or eliminate banking regulators, potentially placing deposit insurance under the Treasury Department. The idea has faced skepticism, with former FDIC chair Sheila Bair doubting support from lawmakers or the banking industry. The discussions also involve input from Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
