June 17 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh on Wednesday declined to say whether he had spoken with President Donald Trump since taking the helm of the central bank late last month, but said he has met with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

"So on the president, I don't have anything for you," Warsh said at his first press conference since starting the job. "With respect to the Treasury secretary, he has been posting pictures of our breakfast, so ... I don't think I can deny that the long tradition at the central bank is that the Fed chairman and the Treasury secretary meet weekly. I think we've pulled off three of those so far. Believe he's overseas this week, so this will be the exception of the rule."
