#特朗普施压鲍威尔

Local time on April 17, U.S. President Trump once again pressured Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. He posted on social media that Powell's actions are 'too late and wrong', stating that he should have cut interest rates long ago like the European Central Bank, and bluntly said 'The sooner Powell leaves, the better.' The day before, Powell reiterated that he would watch the impact of Trump's tariffs on the economy and inflation, and was not in a hurry to cut interest rates. During his first term, Trump often urged the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. As he began his second term, his push for tariff policies has put the U.S. economy at risk of rising inflation and slowing growth. He hopes to 'offset' the inflation brought about by tariff policies by pressuring the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, thereby alleviating the pressure from his own policies.
