What has Trump been busy with in the past 24 hours?
May 9, 2025:
1. Angry tirade against Powell - Trump told reporters that if the U.S. Federal Reserve were willing to cut interest rates, it would have a "jet fuel-like" boost to the U.S. economy, but Fed Chair Powell's refusal to cut rates might be because "he doesn't love me." Trump previously referred to Powell as "Mr. Too Late" and called him a fool.
2. Trade agreement with the U.K. - Trump announced the trade agreement reached with the U.K., stating, "This agreement includes billions of dollars in market access for U.S. exports, especially in agriculture, significantly increasing market access for U.S. beef, ethanol, and almost all products produced by our great farmers."
