Trump discusses tariffs, interest rates, and India-Pakistan conflict
Former US President Donald Trump defended tariffs, stating they made the United States rich and claimed to have saved the American auto industry. He also asserted he prevented an India-Pakistan war during 'Operation Sindoor' by threatening tariffs. Trump advocated for the US to have the world's lowest interest rates and criticized the electric vehicle push. Meanwhile, reports indicated the US Federal Reserve was expected to hold interest rates steady, though some policymakers favored a hike, with higher oil prices potentially creating new pressure to resume rate increases.
