"No, I don't think so. I don't see it," Trump said on NBC News' Meet The Press With Kristen Welker when asked if he would seek to remove Mr Powell, whose term ends in 2026.
Trump added that he did not think Mr Powell, whom he has sparred with in the past over interest rate levels, would go quietly.
"I think if I told him to, he would. But if I asked him to, he probably wouldn't," Trump told Ms Welker.
Trump campaigned on a promise to lower mortgage rates and other borrowing costs for US households, raising the prospect that he could clash with Mr Powell - as he did in his first term - over interest rate policy.
