美国 Trump on the Fed: We deserve the lowest interest rates in the world In his latest remarks, Trump once again criticized Federal Reserve Chair Powell, saying there’s no reason for refusing to cut rates and accusing high interest rates of harming the U.S. economy and national security, leading to unnecessary interest payments of hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Trump stated that inflation is no longer a threat, and the U.S. should leverage the economic strength brought by its tariff policies to enjoy the lowest interest rates globally. He emphasized that the Fed should immediately implement significant rate cuts to further enhance the nation’s economic competitiveness and reiterated his dissatisfaction with Powell.
