What to know about Stephen Miran, the tariff proponent Trump just nominated to join the Fed's board of governors
Briefly

Stephen Miran has been nominated by Donald Trump for a position on the Fed's board of governors. At 41, Miran is relatively unknown in economic circles but has influenced the pro-tariff movement significantly. Previously the chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, he gained recognition for authoring the Mar-a-Lago Accord, which offers solutions to America's trade deficit. Despite his lack of traditional academic credentials, Miran stands out as one of the few PhD economists advocating for economic nationalism in Republican circles.
Miran's position is unique as he is one of the few PhD economists who supports economic nationalism within the Republican party, a minority perspective.
The Mar-a-Lago Accord, authored by Miran, presents his solutions to America's trade gap and solidifies his role as a pro-tariff ideologue under Trump.
