Trump Urges Fed to Cut Rates, Threatens Trade Halt with Deficit Countries
US President Donald Trump urged the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, citing a strong August jobs report showing 162,000 new jobs. He warned that if rates remain high, the US could stop trading with countries running trade surpluses against it. Trump argued that high interest rates place the US at an unfair disadvantage and claimed the Supreme Court acknowledged his authority to take such trade actions. His comments reflect ongoing pressure on the Fed amid economic and trade concerns.
