Trump demands Fed cut rates or he'll halt trade with deficit countries

President Donald Trump demanded the Federal Reserve cut interest rates following a strong jobs report, warning he will stop trade with countries where the U.S. has trade deficits. Trump criticized high interest rates as unfair to the U.S. and urged the Fed and its chairman, Kevin Warsh, to lower rates to boost the economy. He framed the threat to end trade with deficit countries as a patriotic move and an alternative to tariffs. This statement intensifies Trump's ongoing pressure on the Fed amid concerns over inflation and economic growth ahead of the midterm elections.
