Interest rates are what people charge for money. The Fed does not set rates along the yield curve -- surely you know that. Surely you also know that to stand still we must find $2 billion per day to cover the current account deficit. If FCBs want a higher return to compensate for currency risk they will get it the way all things are obtained -- in the marketplace. The Fed can do little if anything about that. The Fed can have some influence, but the Fed is far from being a powerful actor that will decide what is or is not going to be "allowed" to happen.
