Trump Blasts Fed’s Delays on Interest Rates, Citing Missed Opportunity

Former U.S President Donald Trump criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for not taking decisive action on interest rates sooner. Trump argues that the timing was critical for impacting economic growth and stability. His remarks highlight a widening divide between political pressure for immediate results and the Fed’s cautious approach based on data-dependent decisions. The debate centers around whether the Fed is missing an opportunity to utilize rate cuts as a tool for stimulating the economy, while also considering potential negative consequences of intervention.
