Trump threatens trade cuts over Fed rates, citing US disadvantage

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Former President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off trade with countries that have a trade deficit with the U.S. if the Federal Reserve does not lower interest rates. Trump expressed his impatience with the central bank in a social media post following a strong jobs report, urging Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh and board members to "be patriots." He argued that high interest rates disadvantage the U.S. and stated he would not permit it, suggesting he has the authority to enact such trade embargoes, though it would likely face legal challenges.
