Donald Trump’s recent calls for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates have sent ripples through financial markets and raised concerns about potential global economic instability. Trump, citing weak job growth data and lagging economic competitiveness with European and Chinese economies, argues that rate cuts are essential to stimulate economic growth. This stance directly contrasts with the current Fed policy and fuels debate over monetary intervention’s impact on the U.S. economy. Trump’s criticism was amplified by his meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell just days prior, highlighting a diverging view on the path forward for the U.S. economy. ]
