Trump Proposes One-Year 10% Cap on Credit Card Interest Rates

US President Donald Trump announced a proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year, effective January 20, 2026. He stated this move aims to improve affordability and prevent consumers from being "ripped off" by current rates of 20-30% or higher, attributing high rates to the previous administration. Details on implementation, including potential congressional approval or executive action, remain unclear. Similar bipartisan legislative efforts have been introduced in Congress.
