Trump threatens trade action over US interest rates
Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that if the Federal Reserve does not cut interest rates, he will stop trading with certain nations, particularly those with which the U.S. has a trade deficit. Trump argued that high interest rates put the U.S. at an "unfair disadvantage." He made these remarks following an unexpected U.S. jobs report. The coverage indicates Trump's statements were directed at countries like China. The Federal Reserve has not yet responded to Trump's comments.
