#特朗普施压鲍威尔

BlockBeats news, on April 19, Trump reiterated during a speech at the White House on the 18th local time that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell should lower interest rates. Trump has been pressuring Powell to cut rates for two consecutive days.

According to reports from U.S. media, due to Powell's repeated refusal to lower interest rates, Trump has been privately discussing 'firing' him for months. White House economic advisor Hassett stated on Friday when asked if replacing Powell was an option that Trump and his team would continue to study the matter.

The Fed's regular meeting last week announced that interest rates would remain unchanged, in line with external expectations. Although the Fed has traditionally made independent decisions, Trump still expressed at a Cabinet meeting on the 24th, 'I want to see the Fed lower interest rates.' He emphasized that food and energy prices are declining.

Trump stated: 'This is just my opinion, as prices are falling. We have controlled inflation. Tariffs will soon bring in a lot of revenue.'
