#特朗普施压鲍威尔 Trump pressured Powell mainly to demand the Federal Reserve cut interest rates. He believes Powell's actions have been slow, and the delays in rate cuts have hindered the U.S. economy. Trump hopes to use interest rate cuts to "offset" the inflation caused by his tariff policies, reduce government interest expenses, alleviate fiscal pressure, and simultaneously stimulate domestic consumption and investment to boost the U.S. economy.

However, Powell emphasized the independence of the Federal Reserve, stating that policy adjustments should be based on economic data rather than political interference. The Federal Reserve believes the economic impact of the Trump administration's tariff policies is uncertain, and current inflation remains above the target, so they will not easily cut rates until they see more substantial evidence that the U.S. economy is facing obstacles.

From the market's reaction, some traders are betting that the Federal Reserve will start cutting rates from June, but some experts believe the Federal Reserve may continue to wait and see. Trump's pressure has raised concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve and deeper issues in U.S. economic governance, and whether he can change the direction of Federal Reserve policy and its impact on the global economy remains to be seen.
