President Trump Advocates for Lowest U.S. Interest Rates Ahead of Fed Meeting

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that no country should have lower interest rates than the United States, just days before the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting. Trump argued that the U.S. should maintain the lowest interest rates globally, regardless of inflation or economic data. His comments come after a key measure of underlying inflation, the Consumer Price Index, showed its largest increase in four months on Friday, reinforcing expectations that the U.S. central bank will raise rates.
