TRUMP: I KNOW MORE ABOUT INTEREST RATES THAN FED
United States President Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that the Federal Reserve should take his advice when making monetary policy decisions because he knows “more about interest rates” than they do.
“When the energy comes down, that’s gonna knock down a lot of the inflation and it will automatically bring interest rates down,” the president claimed and added he would “demand a strong statement” from the Fed if that happened and would expect the bank to listen to him.
