The United States Supreme Court has blocked US President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, in a ruling that reinforces the central bank's independence from the White House.
The decision came on a day of sweeping rulings from the court, which in a separate case struck down a nearly century-old precedent limiting presidential power over independent agencies.
President Trump has described the ruling on the Fed as merely procedural and says he will take what he called appropriate action immediately.
