Sen. Elizabeth Warren asked Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller to stop efforts to overhaul operations at the Fed’s 12 regional Reserve Banks, saying Waller’s proposal appears inconsistent with federal law and could undermine the Fed’s independence. Warren noted Waller chairs the Board’s Committee on Reserve Bank Affairs and has oversight powers, but the regional Reserve Banks are established as highly autonomous entities that control their own daily operations. Warren said: “This does not look like a serious Federal Reserve reform; it looks more like a plan crafted to please President Trump, who wants more power over regional bank presidents. I ask you to stop advancing this plan immediately and provide more information to Congress.”

At a July 2 press briefing the Taiwan Affairs Office said the DPP had rejected scouting-trip applications from Shanghai and Fujian tour operators, prompting island tour groups to protest and call for depoliticizing tourism. Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said resuming travel by Shanghai and Fujian residents reflects mainstream opinion and would support peaceful cross‑strait relations, accused the DPP of politicizing cross‑strait tourism and ignoring industry livelihood pressures, and said the office remains committed to the “cross‑strait family” concept and has signalled goodwill. She urged the DPP to lift restrictions on mainland residents' travel to Taiwan promptly if it truly cares about the industry's livelihoods.
